Why is it repop and not repro? Repro stands for reproduction, what does repop stand for? Repopulation?

Anyway, my apologies if this has been answered.

Actually iv'e always wondered that myself...i just never bothered to ask
curious to know??

as in popped out another batch.

I have no idea. I've only seen "repop" used here, and here is the only place I use it.

Both terms are used as slang for reproduction. Not sure of the origin.

crownrox · 2012-01-29 9:11pm

its been popped once..... then somebody pops it again

Yep slang. Pete n' Repete.

Sometimes when I go poop I think I'm done so I wipe my butt...
But before I get back to the couch I have to turn around to return to the toilet to "repoop"...

In other hobbies this is what it refers too

Reproduction - Comes from a new source, typically someone taking an original item and trying to duplicate it as best they can to match the original.

Repop - Typically comes from the original toolings of that item, that may have been out of production for years, either by the original company or a new company that has acquired the toolings / molds.

I thought you were gonna say "to wipe again".

Okay, now I'm officially not a noob anymore because I've been here long enough to have seen this question more than once. The answers given before are similar as above. To the affect that it's a slang reference to "popping" them out of like a cooke cutter.

Used very commonly in the musclecar lingo. Repop this...repro that...same thing. In other words, a new part you never could find unless it was well used.

I wouldn't even say it for the longest time. I stuck with repro until I read and heard it enough it started to sound normal.

I know nothing.... That being said lol... This makes the most sense to me

Wow!! thanks for all the info.. I knew it had to be some form or reproduction but not sure of the significance or origin, but I think I'm clear now.

chillywilly263 · 2012-01-30 7:30am

I like when people refer to it as repo. Wouldn't that be repossession?

Are you sure those definitions aren't backwards?
