With a country or government as object it is the informal verb of staging a coup (accused of couping elected governments); with a barrow or cart it means tipping the load out. In Scotland and Northern England it can also mean bartering. In every sense it follows a form of be in progressive tenses or stands as a noun after a preposition.
