Cope (noun, slang) is any thought used as a coping mechanism against an emotional stressor or perceived shortcoming.

For example:

Alice: I may be ugly, but at least I’m not superficial.

Bob: Cope

I'm aware of this usage of cope, and I guess I might use it myself if the opportunity arose - it's just 'to be cope' seems a different usage.
