Copiumの例文や意味・使い方に関するQ&A

A: The verb "to cope" means "trying to stay happy during a bad situation." During really bad situations, we usually feel stressed or sad or angry. So, things that make us feel happy help us "cope" with those bad situations (they help us stay happy).

"Copium" is a joke word that combines "cope" with the drug "opium." Some people cope with bad situations by taking drugs. Other people do things like binge eating, binge watching shows, doing lots of shopping. or other unhealthy behaviors. Because these "coping mechanisms" (coping behaviors) are often unhealthy, using the joke word "copium" is a way of joking about the unhealthy behavior.
