What say you all? Cop v. pop, sit v. pee.
What I've heard most often is "plop a squat," and always to mean "hey, grab a seat, sit down, etc."
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think it might vary by region.
I used it in this case because of the actual cop. I mostly use it as "sit". Unless I'm in a bathroom or peeing in front of police.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Cop a squat = pee outside.
Karate is complete. Now we head home.

Me neither! I'd probably get the idea, though.

Likewise. Apparently regional. Clear in meaning.

Well, I know why Theo has never heard "pop a squat"-- because I remember it from Pretty Woman!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"plop a squat,"
Huh!
I think I'm going to have to write in to the language radio show with this one.

I've always heard "cop a squat" as peeing outside. Regional dialects are fun!
ION, it is cool and gray and rainy outside, and I am SO HAPPY. Man, three years in LA have changed me.
