Get the Copy-warm mug."Sharp copy" is the phrase sometimes used by photographers to say that the image quality (sharpness in particular) of this particular version of the lens is good. When something is mass-produced, designs are made which define the ideal size, along with the upper and lower limits for tolerance away from this ideal size, for every piece (every screw, hole, seal, etc.) in the final product. When it comes to making a lens, these variances apply to the glass as well as the metal housing. Sometimes a lens which might pass quality inspection at the factory might perform worse than another lens that came off the same production line at a different time.

Get the sharp copy mug.Written material (a few sentences or an entire paragraph) that has questionable worth in the larger scheme of the story, article, or blog post. Figuratively, the copy is standing on the ledge wondering whether it should "take the leap" or continue on with its existence.
"David thinks he is a great writer, but his writing rambles on and on with meaningless ledge copy. He should just get to the point."

Get the up-copied mug.A reference to the classical Advertising text 'Ogilvy on Advertising', in which David Ogilvy describes the power of persuasion with a good long-copy ad.
So just putting it out there: in this 280 characters or less world, I'm still an "Ogilvy on Long Copy" kinda man.
