Meaning of this phrasal verb "popped into"

[Sonia*]

Respected teachers,

1) Kindly tell me the meaning of this phrasel verb " popped into". As I came across with a sentence...

for instance: He caught a fat wild rabbit,popped it into his bag.

2) one more sentence is there : Queen and Princess "fussed around" and ordered new clothes for prince.

what does the meaning of fussed around?

Thanks a lot teachers.

Hi sonia,

although I´m no teacher I dare say that to pop sth. into means to put it into. Thus it looks like the mentioned person in your 1st example has brought home a quite fat meal to his family.

Hi Sonia,

As Michael has explained, it suggests 'put into'. In fact it's a verb that's used again and again in conversation as in: pop this pill in(to) your mouth, pop the money in(to) your wallet, pop that leaflet in(to) your pocket. It can also be used to mean 'visit' as in: If you're going into the town centre, could you pop into the newsagent and get me a newspaper.

'Fuss around' suggests paying a lot of attention to small details and usually annoying someone you fuss around. The adjective 'fussy' describes someone who pays too much attention to small details and as a result irritates everyone.
