is this the greatest downfall of an english word in recent times? when it first appeared, it was sufficient to win any argument. in 4 (four) simple letters you not only proved that the oponnent was ilogical, but you revealed something about his character. that a single word could cause so much damage is beyond my understanding, but nonetheless it eventually fell. nowadays 'cope' is white noise. it tastes like vanilla ice cream.
another word is going down the same path: cringe. it does not have the same power as before, and quite ironic, it's cringe to say cringe

Sounds like someone said 'cope' in response to some autistic essay you did on /sp/ or something. These are people that wouldn't have seriously engaged you otherwise anyways.

Cope is still solid when used properly because it has actual meaning, the same applies to cringe.
Other words that are only useful as swears and nothing else were dead on arrival though

Man is not one, man is many: man is a multitude, a crowd. The feeling of being a personality is a mirage. It arises because you never go in, and you never face the crowd. Perhaps to avoid the crowd, you never go in.

You are living outside your own home and the home is being occupied by your neighbors, many of whom are dead. And when I say many, I mean many! - centuries, queues of old and dead people are living within you; hence, when for the first time one enters on the path of meditation, the first encounter shakes one to the very roots. One sees many faces and many people - except one face, except the one individual that he is.

Most people, out of fear, simply run out again and get engaged in things so that they can forget what is happening within themselves. To find oneself alone needs such courage because the moment you find yourself alone you have to face a multitude, a crowd. Each in the crowd pretends to be your real self, and there is no way for you to find out who is your real individual. Millions of people live their lives without meditation for the simple reason that they cannot cope with this encounter.

using it doesn't necessarily prove anything. you are only making a claim that allows (you) on your side of the 'argument' to assume that another anon is illogical or of dubious character.
Instead it's use points to the inability for a poster to make a good counter point in an argument. So using 'cope' is more or less a coping mechanism for the unintelligent anon
