Copping the wire

Prison slang for stealing another inmate’s items off their fishing line (the string they use to send exchange items between cells).

Sometimes when the line is sent to the gallery, another inmate snatches it for themselves.
I tried sending Bill some coffee on a line, but he never got it because someone has been copping the wire.

Coping

When someone tells themselves or believes in something thats a delusion to make them feel better about themselves or their situation in life.
Example:
John: Dude im an 8/10, a girl I like said i was.
Jimmy: Are you dating this girl?
John: No she friendzoned me. She said I wasn't her type.
Jimmy: John your obviously not an 8/10, if you were she wouldn't have friendzoned you. Saying "you're not my type" is a virtue signal, meaning she doesn't find you attractive. Stop Coping, exept reality, and reject delusion.
