    Its an ambiguous slang statement that can mean several different things at once. It requires extra work to ground in a well-defined meaning.

    Much in the same way ‘going to the bank’ could mean a financial institution or a river, ‘dropping’ something can mean releasing a new thing, stopping support, or physically fumbling an object on the ground. OP could have done a better job disambiguating with either different words or more context.
