`  == Split and remerger ==  On 8 May 2008, this page was split into an explicit disambiguation page and a page about the word ``cop``.  The page about the word was a mere dictionary definition, something which Wikipedia explicitly is not.  The page described only the meaning and alleged origins of the slang word.  All that lexical content is already on the Wiktionary page where, frankly, the editors have better tools and resources to confirm alleged etymologies, etc.  I have remerged the content and reverted the pagemove.  If anyone has new information about the etymology of this word, please add it to the Wiktionary page.  Thanks.    `
