To pop on vs. to put on vs. to take on. Hi guys! What's the difference between these phrasal verbs? My example: "She popped on her things, and went down to him". It seems to me that "to pop on" is an archaic way to say the phrase, isn't it? We should use "to pop on" when we're talking about a fully naked human. So, the author had used "to pop on" because the character didn't have any clothes. Am I right?

'To pop on' has the same basic meaning as 'to put on'. It has a lighter, informal tone and also means that you intend to complete the action quickly and without fuss. Some common examples: 'I'll pop the kettle on' 'I'm popping to the shops' 'I'll just pop to the toilets'. This is a very British expression and you probably won't hear it much in American English.
