n. an excuse to take the easy way out, an excuse to not finish something in an acceptable way

Example:
This phrase was parodied by Monty Python to end some sketches. Instead of a climax or punch line, the police (cops) would turn up and arrest the characters. Therefore, they would literally "cop out" of finishing the sketch. The most notable was at the end of "Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail".

Cop out

by HE :) WHO WRITES on Apr 18, 2021 15:27:52

when someone backs out from a responsibility or commitment because they're lazy or don't want to. The first simple definition that came to mind. To remember it, think of it this way: An angry Karen complains at the nearest police office(don't why but just for this ex.). The officer there named Jerry doesn't want to deal with that rn and leaves. He tells his trustworthy friend, officer Bob, "I'm out"...or in this case since he's a popo(slang for police), "COP OUT".

Example:
Even though Officer Jerry's shift wasn't over, Officer Bob still let Jerry cop out on dealing with the Karen bringing her problems to the police station because he's a good a friend. Kudos to him

1. Chris would have met up with his friends today but being a cop out, he stayed in and watched child anime porn then played with his sisters.

2. Vaughan is such a cop out!

cop-out

by QuacksO on Mar 23, 2017 01:07:28

Refers to any pathetically-threadbare "easy-but-ineffective solution" excuse used to maintain the infamous "blue wall of silence" and avoid having to terminate --- or at least adequately discipline --- a morally-delinquent officer for grossly unacceptable actions.

Example:
Disgruntled citizen, speaking to his wife over morning coffee and reading the newspaper: Huh --- says here that the sheriff claims his deputies just need "additional training" in the wake of a spate of police-brutality and racial-profiling complaints... what a cop-out! The problem is that those piglice are dyed-in-the-wool assholes, and he knows it --- "training" isn't gonna help THOSE sadistic bullies; they behave that way due to their basic evil/hurtful nature, not because they are merely not "learned" or "familiar" enough about their assigned duties or how they're supposed to act!

Cop-out

by Dex Novice on Apr 16, 2021 19:05:04

(n) - an excuse to injure or kill someone that only works if you're a law enforcement officer: it gets a cop out of trouble.

Example:
"I feared for my life when he reached for his wallet,' is such a cop-out."
