Another name for Police Officers. The name "copper" comes from the copper badges that police used to wear back in the day.

Quite possibly the best place in the world, where magic happens and everyone is looking for the shift.
No-one has ever had a bad night in here!
can be used as an adjective either as in i was "coppered" the other night....

The 29th element with the symbol Cu and a beautiful pink-orange hue. Copper is a huge multi-tasker metal, with decorative, industrial, plumbing, electronic, and culinary uses, making it extremely useful in everyday life. Most of its practical applications make use of Copper's availability and conductivity. It is widespread in many countries, and is easily accessible. Copper is also the 2nd most conductive metal. In addition to being common and a great transmitter, it is very soft, allowing it to be bent into many different shapes easily. However, as good as Copper may seem, it is chemically reactive in the air, quickly developing a black tarnish that ruins the orange-y hue that many people love. It is also too soft; requiring the support of other metals for strength. The name "Copper" comes from the Latin "Cuprum", meaning "from the island of Cyprus". The Romans discovered that this metal was abundant on Cyprus, and mined large quantities of it.

a cop, pig, policeman, etc, given to eating large amounts of donuts and harrassing speeders and citizens passing by. Restraurant owners put up with them due to fear of retribution; however they are avoided at all costs by others. The IQ of coppers is limited by law, because they must not realize just how stupid they are or they may quit.......and thus the world would turn to decadence ad infinitum......or would it??
