  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Idioms 258. The idiom today is to pop the

  • question. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here.

  • If someone, usually a man pops the question, he proposes marriage. It is

  • basically a more humorous way, a more funny way to ask someone to marry you. All right.

  • Let's continue. They say the idiom has existed since 1725. So that's when they

  • first started hearing it used. But it used to mean just asking something

  • important. So it could have referred to many different types of questions at

  • that time. The idiom took on the meaning of proposing around 1826 and today it is

  • mostly used for this meaning. We don't usually say to pop the question when

  • it's in reference to something else. We mostly use it for you know, proposing or

  • asking someone to marry today. All right. Let's continue. We have several examples

  • here how it will be used. Example number one. He has been dating her for eight years.

  • When is he finally going to pop the question ? Yeah. This is very typical of the

  • way you may hear it used. Number two. Bob is taking her on a romantic holiday

  • where he plans to pop the question. Okay. Good and number three. Traditionally,

  • if a man was going to pop the question he would get down on one knee to do it.

  • Yeah. Well in the West a lot of times, you always see this in the movies. I'm not

  • sure how many men do this in real life, but in the movies we see it done a lot.

  • Let's look at number four. You need to prepare an engagement ring before you

  • pop the question. This is typically the way we use it. It's very, very common and

  • it tends to be one of the more funny ways to refer to proposing or asking

  • someone to marry you . Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it is clear. Thank you for

  • your time. Bye-bye.
