what's the meaning of 'making a meal out of it', 'chinppendale and the balsa wood', and 'a pop'?
1. what's the meaning of 'there is no point making a meal out of it, is there?'? I guess the word 'meal' here refers to 'small deal', but I'm not sure about that. the context is that the speaker has played his partner once again.

2. It's a hen night. Then the striper was phoning cancelled and a riot among the girls came up. So some other man acted as a striper and danced for those girls. But some girl reckoned it was disgusting. Then someone said: 'You've heard of the Chippendale. It's the balsa wood.' Then others laughed. What did those words imply?

3. if someone said:'pay 20 pence a pop', does 'a pop' here mean 'a time' or 'once'?

Thank you for your reply. I'd appreciate it.
