Comprable 

A phonetic spelling of the word comparable (Pronounced "Com-parable" with the letter "a" being silenced)

Used to describe something as "sufficiently similar" or an "adequate/suitable replacement". This is different to comparable which is broadly used to indicate similarities between things.
Waiter: I'm afraid we don't have any salmon left, would a beef dish be comparable?
Customer: Well, they are comparable in that they are both food, but they aren't comprable as they aren't sufficiently similar like a cod dish.

comprable 

In Spanish, it means buyable or "may/can be bought". In English, it's a misspelling of the word "comparable", due to the fact that the first "a" is silent in the most common of multiple widely accepted pronunciations. Some people claim it's a fake word that people ironically use to sound smart, but the real irony is that people who make that claim are trying to sound smart when they don't know what they're talking about. It's not a fake word, it's a phonetic misspelling of a real word.
Saying that "comprable" is a fake word is comparable to saying that "diffrence" is a fake word.

Comparable<T> 

A Java Interface signifying the client that it can compare two objects which implement this. Essentially, it forces the existence of the compareTo(T otherObj) method -- depicted below. This tells a user it can use this method to compare these two objects. Typically this comparable also allows the proper implementation of an equals(Object other) method, as this would be any case in which compareTo(T otherObj) would return a 0.
public interface Comparable<T> {

public int compareTo(T otherObj);

}

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
