NOUN · COPE + OPIUM; DOSE: DAILY
A joke word made from “cope” and “opium”. It describes the comforting excuses or denial people use to make themselves feel better about a disappointment, like insisting your team “wasn’t really trying” after it lost.
ZACK’S TRANSLATION
Emotional painkiller. Available without prescription. You’re on a high dose.
“The referee was obviously biased.” “Pure copium.”
The referee was fine. Your team was not.
“He didn’t reply because he’s busy.” “That’s copium.”
He’s not busy. He replied to a meme in another chat.
“Inhaling copium after that exam.”
Inhale away. The grade is still coming.
