Slang of the Day

🔰cop out

✍🏾Meaning:
to not do something you should do because of fear of failure

❕For example:

🔺My friend Clive could have been a great concert pianist, but he copped out and became a piano teacher instead.

🔺Brenda should have gone on the TV show to promote her new book, but she copped out because she was so nervous. She made up some excuse about feeling sick.
