A friend of mine, African-American, reports that "finger popping" means
that one is going out for the evening, as in "Are you going out
fingerpopping tonite?" No specific activity is referred to, though dancing
is a common meaning. My friend was born in St. Louis, to parents from
Alabama and Kentucky. She says that she has heard and used the expression
most of her life.
