We're here back for another episode of corporate jargon
0:03
Today it's COP, Close of Play, and it's Closed of Play here today at City AM
0:07
Let's go find out what people think. What do you think of all this? The whiskey's great
0:11
Yeah. Close of play, not so good. I haven't tried it yet because I have a flu
0:17
Boring. Lucy. Where's your cocktail? Hey, Joey. Okay, what about Jess
0:26
Jess is a season pro. So today's is COP. Like, can you get this to me by COP
0:31
What do you think about that? Yeah, I'm not really a fan. Not really a fan. No. Why
0:36
I feel like people use it quite often in, like, text messages
0:40
And when it's used conversationally, I hate it even more. People use that in text messages? Yeah, I've had people text me, like, let me see OPE
0:47
That's terrifying. Close of play. Love it all over. Love it. Why
0:53
Because at close of play, you have whiskey. It's fair. Andy Sylvester. Everyone has to say yes to video
0:58
COP. Close of play. It means something very different in our world
1:05
I tend to do by the start of play tomorrow because that gives me the chance to get up earlier
1:11
if I can't be bothered to do it in the afternoon. But I feel like I've given away the trade secrets now
1:15
Okay Alfie COP that our worst corporate drug in the week What does that mean Close of play Can you get this Yeah Can you get this mean by COP
1:26
Get out. Jack's debut! Okay, we're now here with Jack Mendel, our digital editor
1:34
Stop going. Corporate jargon of the week is COP. Love it all over it
1:41
I love it. I'm a big fan of it. Why? Because I'm a cricket fan
1:45
and at the end of every day of cricket, there's close of play. So it kind of reminds me of cricket
1:50
Okay, so it saves time as well. It saves time. It doesn't save any time. It's very ambiguous
1:55
Of course it saves time. How? Because when I get an email and it says CIP, I know what it means
1:59
What time does it mean? It means when I go home. That's subjective
2:04
When the camera's off, I'll say what I actually do. Matt Hardy
2:09
Close of play. Love it all over. Love it. Justify. Something I use a lot of the time
2:15
I'm usually end of play rather than close of play, but big fan. J. F.K. Over to you
2:21
First of all, how's your cocktail? Oh, it's delicious. Thank you. What do you think about COP
2:27
Don't like it. Don't entirely know what it means. We're a newspaper. What's that jargon
2:33
Off stone. Off stone's a good one? Yeah. No, it's not for me. Sorry. Too corporate
2:39
Or I'm not corporate enough
