took me 1 second to google, try it sometime retard.

You've really never heard of a coup before?

And so you assume no one else has either.

>BAIT.GIF

Due to not being an American I had heard of it before, even said it out loud!

No one knew what a coup was before Turkey? In this Bhutanese fish breeding board about international politics and events?

Are you 10 years old OP or did you have to take "special" classes when you were in school?

There have even been several major coups/attempts in the last few years for Christ's sake.

>leaf logic

>one of the more smarter ones here.
it shows Cletus, it shows.

I think of JFK when I hear the word coup

Old fag here.

I was already shaving the last time turkey had a coup, let alone knowing what it means.

>there are people in this thread that pronounce it "coo-oop"

I learned 'coup' when I was 14 playing CoD4

Look at my fucking flag senpai

It means "Blow to the State" in French.
We had several of those until 1976.

I had a coup performed against me in a videogame 11 years ago and I knew what it meant well before then

Shadowbane, back when it existed, was an MMORPG where you could run a city

I had this city that some lowlife dwarves gifted to me because it was too much trouble to maintain.. I ended up bringing it from a shitty set of walls with like 2 buildings to an actual city, and then some cucks in my inner circle turned around and backstabbed me because one of my irl friends had logged into my character without my knowledge a few times.

I ended up joining this huge evil faction in the hopes of burning my own city to the ground, but it ended up not happening, and that city lasted until the servers were wiped when the game shut down

RIP the city of Denemar.

Lol why do they say "coo" it's obviously spelt like "coop"

mods delet this

Dude, what the fuck are you talking about? America has been the cause of many coup d'etat. Why do some Americans insist on giving the rest of us a bad name?

>more smarter ones here

Well Fuck Me (OP) I thought it was a 2 door car

I am majoring in history and the word "coup d'etat" is extremely common knowledge.

Because French is fucking retarded, they don't pronounce half the vowels in words

this too

>I'm probably one of the more smarter ones here
bait 0/10

What it means, is that you are a moron

You're dumber than you think

Coup means I am going to gain control of your government and therefore the wealth of your country. Popular in countries with large oil reserves.

>perpetuating dumb amerilard maymay

I've known the word since 4th grade. I even pronounce it correctly.

I don't think coups are uncommon enough for you to really not know what they mean. There's a new one every 3 years or so. Usually in Asia/Africa, but South America used to have quite a bit, too.

Are you 14

>more smarter

Hilarious.

Coup D'Etat
The government can't stop a throng
Struck strong,
Let us through.
Pulverize.
New comes in.
Coup D'Etat
Give me a bomb.
A Malatov.
It's a Coup D'Etat!
General Dictator gives the Law.
Get outta line,
Next neck on the block.
Armys marching through the streets.
Next run out the suffering.
Coup D'Etat
A Push from the left
And a shout from the right.
All come out,
Let's do it tonight.
Take the President and His wife,
Deliver the ransom
Or we take their lives.
Trash their embassy.
They are our enemies!!!
The president just smokes cigars,
Anyone he does not like,
He shoots or puts behind bars.
Coup D'Etat!
Kill all...

>He doesn't know where chickens live

Jesus Christ you are fucking retarded OP. I bet you don't even know where tendies come from.

You idiot, I drive a coup. I can't stand sedans. go away summer fag.

Also this. French is a retarded language. It's worse than Turkish. I'm glad it's dying and English is the new Lingua Franca.

I bet OP unironically says it without a silent 'p' as well.

>be america
>be number 1 in might
>be number 1 in earnings
>be number 1 in porn
>be last place in education

You are a fucking retard.

If you have ever actually studied history you know what a fucking coup is. Rot in hell OP.

>I guarantee none of you knew what it meant before a few days ago
Are you a fucking moron?

>And I'm probably one of the more smarter ones here

Sounds similar in Italian (coup d'etat > colpo di stato) so I know, am I politician yet?

buckethead was born in one

Our education isn't that bad, though. It's just that we have an excessive amount of vocal dumb people because we have an excessively large population with access to the internet.

its like the place where chickens live

Smarter than me?
I don't think so

Coup d'etat, french word meaning someone takes over government

I've been thinking of how a military coup could be orchestrated in the US for about 5 years now
Pro tip:
most of the higher ups in the military are on too good terms with the president
and they would have to be completely blindsided
a lot of anti-government sentiment in the military though so it's feasible if a handful of powerful military officers could be convinced to carry it out
soldiers would just follow orders especially if government was hated enough and the populace was sufficiently disconcerted

>I guarantee none of you knew what it meant before a few days ago.
I guarantee you are wrong.

>And I'm probably one of the more smarter ones here.

My first point stands.

I actually learned the meaning of the word when I was 12 and watched Avatar: the Last Airbender.

Coup mean to strike/punch in french.

Basically an organization strike the government for the control of the State, and take over the State.

Wow..

You're one of those people that would really benefit by erring on the side of caution before you open your mouth.

Stop. Think. In that order.

Holy shit..

>not knowing what a coup d'etat is
you double nigger

Don't just assume people here are dummys

>"coup de tat"

do you mean lard-ass punch user?

How did you find this place, Darky? Did you steal a white person's phone?

Your country experienced one of the most crippling coup de tate in recent history. The dollar was effectively handed to a few individuals without the world knowing.

The US is financially cucked and all of it came from the most successful coup ever.

You must not read very often, I knew what a coup was back when I was watching TIn-Tin.

>when I was watching TIn-Tin.
