Copping Off
The noble art of courting your favourite young lady a la squaddie.
Normally partaken of in a Sticky Carpet after copious amounts of wobbly or similar refreshing beverage.
Depending on the quantities of refreshment imbibed, the unfortunate 'copper' may have acquired a 'coppee' of munter like dimensions, by inadvertently pulling a pig whilst in a dreamy alcohol induced haze.
Copping off should be consummated up a back alley (an alley in a street you twonk), in a toilet cubicle or in the back of a Vauxhall Nova preferably fitted with a sub-woofer that can cause ejaculation merely by turning the bass dial up to 7. Anything else is far too sophisticated for this noble art.
