Today you heard that passengers can hop on a train in London and hop off in Paris. You can use “hop on, hop off, hop in, hop out, hop over” when you mean to go somewhere quickly and easily. At work, it’s common to say, “Let’s hop on a call at 3:00” – meaning, let’s all get together on a call at 3:00, since it’s relatively easy to talk by phone. If you’re rushing home, you might hop on the first bus that comes by your workplace. Or, if you’re really in a rush, you might need to hop in a cab. If you’re on the bus and pass your favorite restaurant, you might hop out to get something to eat.
