reader, anonymous, writes (17 August 2010): please dont take offence, but is he quite a bit oldrr than u? I often call small children and people younger than me,poppet. Its a term of endearment, eg like hun, sweetie, dear, chick. Dont read anythinng romantic into it coz its very unlikely that is was meant in any other way other than to be a pet name for a child/youngster that you are fond of.

 pop·pet –noun
1. Also called poppet valve . Machinery . a rising and falling valve consisting of a disk at the end of a vertically set stem, used in internal-combustion and steam engines.
2. British Dialect . a term of endearment for a girl or child.
3. Nautical . any of the vertical timbers bracing the bow or stern of a vessel about to be launched.
I think the 2nd definition above is what the guy meant when he used it to you.
