Let me just hop right on that.
I saw this sentence on a film. A man and a woman quarrel for something. The woman was very angry and she went to the kitchen, and the man asked, "Did you make dinner?" The woman came out and said, "Let me just hop right on that." How to understand and use this sentence?

Nice phrase. Thanks for sharing.

Normally to hop on means to get started. In this case, I guess it's a sarcastic way to say that she will be into it at the moment. Hope I helped

" Let me hop right on that" is a slang expression. It means, "I'm going to immediately begin that."
However, in your example, the woman was being sarcastic. She is angry, and has no intention of fixing the man's dinner. She is annoyed that he asked her the question.

Hi Ella!
In this instance, the woman is replying "let me just hop right on that" sarcastically as she is angry. The meaning of the phrase would be something like "I'll do that right now" - obviously in this instance, the speaker has no intention of actually making dinner for the man as she is upset!
Without using this phrase sarcastically, it would be a reply to say "I haven't done that yet, but I'll get started on it now"
I hope this helps?
