Definition 6 of Etymology 2

A "cope" (noun) appears to be a coping strategy among incels: anything they do to deal with their dislike of being single. Easily found in use on Reddit, probably not meeting our CFI though. Equinox ◑ 03:03, 28 April 2019 (UTC)


 * While I would say it is used especially to describe incels, it's commonly used a general dysphemism to the term coping mechanism; otherwise used as banterful jest. Mindwitherlesstress (talk) 15:36, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
