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.
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'.

cube cornering 

an uncomfortable work situation where a coworkers get extremely close to you in your cube and corners you in. This typically happens when they look at something on your computer screen or come in to tell you some gossip. The key here is not only does the person infringe on your space, the person also stays around too long. One could be cube cornering a coworker for several minutes.
First thing Monday morning, Michael Jan did his usual cube cornering on me. I had to ask him to leave after a couple of extremely uncomfortable minutes.
