A phrase generally used in the hip hop lexicon. It describes not only an action, but also a general attitude. The term was originally used in this sense by the rapper E-40. When used by E-40, and many other hip hop artists including Three 6 Mafia in their song Poppin My Collar, the term refers to the act of pulling one's collar, or the clothing where one's collar would be (as when wearing a t-shirt), with the thumb and fingertips. One then releases the clothing in varying degrees of flamboyance. Used in this sense, "poppin' ya collar" is more about the attitude and message of confidence portrayed in so doing than any clothing style (see upturned collar). E-40 immortalized the term (and the accompanying attitude), in his song Pop Ya Collar from his album Loyalty and Betrayal.

2. Never confuse the international sign for welling with poppin' ya collar.

A nonchalant way of saying that someone is bullshitting. The "weller" is usually egotistical and tries to explain something they truly don't know in order to appear intelligent. It's also often associated with flapping of the shirt near the collar (like on a hot humid day)in order alleviate themselves from bullshit overload and is now the international way of insinuating that someone is welling.
Albert: "I wonder why you have to prepay for gas in NJ."
Chris: "Well you see well well the gas pump numbers just keep rolling thats why. I know this because I read up on it back when I went to Berklee university."
1. He's so good at welling if he went on jeopardy he'd have an answer and explanation for every question.
2. You'll always feel safe with a weller because what you don't know, they'll always have a confident answer for.
