Copium Meaning Explained – 2022
Copium is a combination of two words “Cope” and “opium”. This explains Copium means coping using a drug. While this is the base meaning of it on the internet it is used to refer to coping from a loss using a fictional drug. The word is used to mock sports and politics fans when the team or Party they support is losing or lost and now they will copium (cope using a fictional drug). You can find Copium on Urbandictionary as well. The meaning there is a bit twisted but it is on similar lines with what we mentioned above. The word is mostly used with the Pepe the frog meme. He is shown inhaling something from a cylinder that has “copium” written on it. Pepe the frog is also wearing a hat in the meme. The colour of the hat keeps changing depending on who is it supposed to troll. For eg, if a sports team has lost the cap will have the team’s logo depicting the players of the team using Copium.
