Squat copping

[David A. Daniel]

You know how it goes, you've never heard of something (a word, whatever) but
then once you hear of it the first time it seems to be all over the place.
Here's a CNN.com story about a race in Namibia where someone is seen
"copping a squat".

"When you've got a CEO of a major company copping a squat in the desert, you
are seeing them in a way their board members would never dream of," said
Sandy McCallum, a 47-year-old former reporter turned record-setting fulltime
runner who won Sahara among women in 2007."
