copper

a cop, pig, policeman, etc, given to eating large amounts of donuts and harrassing speeders and citizens passing by. Restraurant owners put up with them due to fear of retribution; however they are avoided at all costs by others. The IQ of coppers is limited by law, because they must not realize just how stupid they are or they may quit.......and thus the world would turn to decadence ad infinitum......or would it??

Example:
The copper was so fat and stupid that I just doubled back on him and proceeded to drive home.

Coppering

by salina111 on Nov 24, 2010 06:05:21

Collecting together money from your pockets, bag, around the house or down the back of the settee. Usually collected together to buy some small item like a pint of milk or a loaf of sliced bread. Therefore all the pennies and small change in copper will have an inordinate value.

May be used as a slightly offensive word if you have a group of people pooling all their money to buy a cheap bottle of wine between them or some similar object of desire.

Example:
Peter Stringfellow (The king of strip clubs) said recently 'The worst customers we have in here are groups of women (hen parties). They are always coppering together to buy one male stripper between them'.
