No, I agree with Quinion. Unusual. The verb "to cop", as in "He copped a pie from the stall and took to his heels" became a noun which is still in use - "It's a fair cop, guv, you got me bang to rights" - i.e. "You've caught me fair and square". We still use "to cop" but in a slightly different sense. "To cop a feel" is still sometimes used, for instance, and it means "to touch a female/male intimately but without consent".
