This term was first used in France before the revolution. During king Louis' reign, he always found it amusing to have gestures perform tricks for his wealthy guests. On one occasion, the gesture cut an apple via two vertical half cuts and another one perpendicular to that one. In addition, two nonadjacent corner cuts were made giving rise to two pieces of that apple that were mirror images of eachother. The gesture then offered this apple to the sun god also known as Louis 16th and ever since, this method of cutting an apple has been referred to as “la coupe du roi”.

A word that 12 year old's use on the internet to establish their narcissistic personality disorder, even though it has nothing to do with debating about if you have unspoken rizz or not, and just makes you seem more of an idiot and French Aristocrat that was beheaded during the French Revolution, which makes perfect sense considering how you don't care at all about the people that surround you daily.
Every Sane Human Being: "We stop arguing about this."
that dumb 12 year old:" uM aCtUaLlY I cAn cOuP d'EtAT yOu!"
Every Sane Human Being: *eyeroll

"Costume Coup"

A facade of patriotism, revolution with zero substance other then intent to cause fear.
On January 6, 2021, it was little more than half off bargin costumes, teeshirts, hats and flags. A facade intending to cause fear without much substance. Just a Costume Coup.

When a group of people acts like people they previously tried to make fun of or call weird earlier in life, but they're actually replacing anything that is unique (or old) with something a bit more bubblegum pop (or new) and mainstream (but don't want their activities to be transparent or obvious to anyone) by claiming to be/posing as the raw person's kind of raw, the outlaw's outlaw.
He/she/they were a part of a secret society/organization trying to launch a successful counter culture coup that established counter surveillance on anything that represented anything left of the old counter culture to replace it with a new bland version of it, and a new guard to guard it.
