Copped
Significado: Bought or obtained something, especially something desirable.
Copping means purchasing or acquiring something you wanted. It carries a sense of accomplishment — you didn't just buy something, you secured it. Especially used for limited items like sneakers, concert tickets, or anything that sells out quickly. 'Copped a W' means got a win; 'copped an L' means took a loss.
