This means, quite literally, “one who eats faeces”. French beef farmers, supplying meat for export, feed their cattle human faeces as a cheap food as it contains large amounts of partially digested cellulose and thereafter the cows exhibited coprophagic behaviour. Under certain conditions dogs also develop coprophagic behaviour, but this can be prevented, and cured, by feeding them tinned pineapple!
The use of the term has expanded to describe someone who, while not very clever or good at their job, is always smarming round the boss. The sort of behaviour exhibited is:
1. laughing excessively at the smallest joke;
2. apparently sharing the same interests and hobbies as the boss;
3. getting the boss tea or coffee without being asked;
4. sending the boss Christmas and Birthday cards, often with a gift attached;
Exactly the sort of behaviour that makes you think that if the boss crapped on their desk they’d eat it and swear it was ambrosia. These people are usually mediocre to poor performers and its only their relationship with the boss that keeps them from being potted.

“Malcolm’s just given the boss a big birthday card and a present, so I told him he was a perfect coprophage. The twat looked at me as if I’d just paid him a compliment.”

The literal meaning is 'one who eats faeces'; at one time French beef farmers used to feed their cattle human faeces as a cheap food and because the substance contains large amounts of partially digested cellulose, resulting in coprophagic cows. Coprophagic behaviour is also exhibited by dogs under certain conditions, but can be prevented by feeding them tinned pineapple.
The use of the term has expanded, however, to mean a person, can be male or female, who is not very bright but is always smarming round the boss. The sort of behaviour exhibited is laughing excessively at the smallest joke; apparently sharing the same interests and hobbies as the boss; getting the boss tea or coffee without being asked; sending the boss birthday and Christmas cards often with a small gift attached. In short the sort of behaviour that makes you think if the boss crapped on their desk, this person would eat it anbd swear it was ice cream. These people are usually poor performers and it's only their relatioship with the boss that stops them from being potted.
It is quite safe to call these people 'coprophage' to their face as they won't know what it means and won't have the initiative to look it up.
