I should think "kop" has some very respectable Germanic etymological origins: German "Kaufen," Dutch "kopen," Middle English "chep," Old English "ceap" [to trade].

Monkeyface is dreaming to kop a kapsalon

This has me tempted to make future clothing posts in German. Or, if we want to be truthful, Google German (TM)

I imagine:

- impoverished and erectifiled iGents copping feels of new Formosas and Rotas, shivering with anticipation. One tries to shove a fabric book down his pants
- gdl chases them off into the street, waving a broom over his head, yelling "scram, scram"


Also, "cop" meaning to purchase used to refer to buying something which is illegal

I stayed in the hotel room where like half his songs were recorded. Huge Johnson fan, half for the music, half for the life. I asked if people often requested the room. No. They don't.

It's pretty much a standard room. I think they may have put up a plaque at some point.

God damn (aha) Robert Johnson was the shit.

Let's see where this disc ends up:

78 RPM Robert Johnson, Vocalion 03623, EE+ Blues
