popups

Browser ad intrusions

Popups are windows or boxes that appear suddenly on a screen, typically without being requested.

On websites, popups often display advertisements or requests to subscribe: I can't read anything with all these popups.

The term extends to popup ads, popup blockers, and popup menus.

In baseball, a popup is a fly ball hit high but not far.

Popup also describes temporary or appearing-from-nowhere things: popup shops, popup restaurants, popup books with three-dimensional illustrations that rise when pages open.
