[sh.hazeri]

"Pop By" or "Come By" ?

ie : can I ( pop /come ) by your office for a few minutes ?

Come by makes sense.
It means: to pay a short visit.

 

[Ouisch]

"Pop by" is more informal than "come by." Sometimes "pop by" is used when the visit is unplanned or spontaneous: "I arrived at my appointment almost an hour early, so I popped by my friend Elaine's office to say 'hi' since she works in the same building."
