I would guess that what you are doing is M-: (pop kill-ring) or
something similar.  Since `pop' returns the popped value, it is then
shown.

On the other hand, this:

(defun pop-from-kill-ring ()
  "Pop an item from kill-ring and discard it."
  (interactive)
  (pop kill-ring))

does not show anything when invoked via M-x pop-from-kill-ring, and
shows the discarded value again when invoked via
M-: (pop-from-kill-ring)
