When I read people on this board talking about "pop" reports, I too, think about it as a business term.
As far as the word "pop" goes, I don't think about "the weasel" but I think about soft drinks.
Growing up in a small town in southern Indiana, most everyone there called a soft drink a "coke". When going to the store or the concession stand, someone might ask you to get them a "coke" and you would then, in turn, ask, "what kind?". They might respond "Coke" or they might say, "Pepsi", "Dr. Pepper", "Mello Yellow", "Mr. Pibb", "Big Red", etc.
When I went to college at IU in Bloomington, most people there said "pop" or soft drink instead of the generic "coke".
So now, when I hear the term "pop report" I think somebody is wanting some type of detailed written report on a soft drink then I remember they are talking about cards......
