Looks like someone already beat me to the drop.

Drop the "Drop"

I am seeing the word "drop" used to indicate starting or introducing. As in to "drop a bill" in the Legislature, or to "drop" a new gun on the market. While this is one of the more obscure meanings of the word, it can cause confusion. I expect that this is a case where a trend in use by a...

I'm glad I am not the only one who has been bothered by this!

I'm not sure why people keep getting all bound up about this. There's a big age gap between members, and they have different ways of speaking and different slang, just like they always have. You spoke different than your grandparents, etc.

It doesn't seem fair to expect everyone else to conform to the narrow window of speech patterns that you are comfortable with.

I'm only 38, and you're using it in a manner that is not consistent with anything.

OMG you guys can't drop drop.

I don't really know what that means but ok. Weird hill to die on.

Weird hill to drop on.

You got the drop on me.

I became instantaneously weary of two trendy terms featuring the word 'drop.'

One is the 'mic drop' after someone has uttered words or lyrics, imparting some sense of profound finality. The assumption seems to be that nothing of comparable value might ever be uttered through that microphone again - at least not until the next performer does the same damn thing. Maybe it was regarded (by some - who didn't pay for the mic) as fresh and clever the first time it was ever done - just not so much (IMHO) ever since.

The other is hearing that some big name in the commercial music industry 'dropped an album' yesterday. I've listened to some of those recordings, and they remind me of really old dogs who don't realize they're 'dropping' things when they walk.

I suppose they are both forms of droppings.

I love the mic drop! As long it's not my mic of course.

Aaannd. There has been a couple of times in the store where the wife works that an old guy "Drops a Deuce" on the floor while shopping. Seen the aftermath with my own eyes!

I only saw the aftermath and the poor old guy standing in the checkout line. But you knew where he'd been!

When people use "dropped" as the hipster youth do, it's almost as bad as some poser talking about "the optics" of a situation.

 

[Cavedweller]

Here's an example that makes it simple. In Rugby, if you drop the ball it's still live, but in Football, if you drop the ball it's dead.

Yes, but in both cases dropping the ball means the ball falls to the ground. The only difference is the effect on the continuation of play. In no sport does dropping the ball mean it rises from the ground into a player's hands.
