popped a squat

Took a seat

Popped a squat is slang with two main meanings.

Most commonly, it means to sit down or take a seat, often in a casual or makeshift way: Just pop a squat anywhere you can find space.

It can also refer to squatting down to urinate outdoors, typically said of women who lack the convenience of standing.

The phrase treats the act of squatting as something quick and informal.
