POLL: Is it Pop Top or Top Pop?

I have heard both quite a bit and whenever I go to type it...I hesitate and think...and probably use them both equally. What are your thoughts?

    "Top pop" for "top population" is more gramatically correct and sounds better to me.

    Wow, a poll with over 80% in favor of one item...ON THESE FORUMS! Glad there seems to be some agreement.

    If you "pop the top" on an older home, you are renovating it by adding a 2nd floor. We
    see a lot of that here in Denver.

    Top Pop is the correct abbreviation.

    It's " Pop a Top again " .It's an old song for you newbies.

    'Every now and then I like to pop my top,' at least that's what a sign featuring a buxom young woman said as she held a can of a beer brewed in Park City, UT. There were a few billboards with brewery advertising that appeared along I-15 when the 2002 Olympics were held in Salt Lake City. All were quite entertaining.

    I always thought it was supposed to mean Top of the Population?

    Not Pop of the...Topulation image

    My rational was Population Top or Top of the Population. image

    Is it a top pop when there is another graded as high but none higher?
    I have a few of those, here's my favorite.

    image


    or only if it's alone as the highest graded (among RBs in this cse)?

    If this were a poll like yours keyman I'd also have to ask "Or don't you care about graded pocket change?" image

    Swampboy- I would have to say to your scenario...Tied Top Pop or just Top Pop would still work....it just would not qualify for Finest Graded or Finest Known at PCGS. image
