Get the Copper Pipesmug. A tan on the left arm of a police officer, that occurs from driving around for a lengthy period of time, with his left arm hanging out the window. During the summer months, police officers wear short sleeved shirts. But because they spend most of their time in the cruiser, only their left arm gets tanned from the sleeve down to their fingers. The word, "copper" is derived from the nickname given to police, because their badges were made of copper. That term was then abbreviated to "cop".
This is similar to a farmer's tan; in which both arms are effected.

Woman at the beach: Sir! Can you help me? You're a cop, right? Somebody just stole the wallet out of my shoes!!
Man: Sure, I'll be happy to help. But I'm not even in uniform. I'm only wearing swimming trunks. How did you know I was a police officer?
Woman: That's easy! Because you have a copper tan! Oh...and because your beach towel, duffel bag, beach umbrella, and beach chair all have "Police" written in huge letters...and you have a badge pinned to your chest. That must hurt.
Man: It does.

Get the copper rocketmug. The theory that after passing a cop when driving down the interstate you can resume speeding because the chances of another cop being close by are relatively small.
Come on, put the pedal to the metal after passing the speed trap because there won't be another copper for several miles - it's all copper relativity. For you youngsters, copper is an old school phrase. Just watch an old James Cagney movie sometime.

Get the Copper Relativitymug. I accidentally left a copper dropper when the office manager found my condom in the foyer of the office and called me out for it.

Get the copper slagmug. I don't know how the soccer player didn't score from that position.
I could have put it in the net using my coppers helmet!
