👉 A 'copper project' is like a superhero's secret identity, but instead of cape and cape, it's a bunch of smelter workers in a lab coat, wielding the shiny metal that makes your electronics glow and your alarm clocks tick-tock. It's a project that's as noble as it is ridiculously penny-pinching, but hey, that's what makes it a copper project - it's all in the name of saving the world (or at least your wallet).
Example sentence: "Despite its dazzling potential to revolutionize renewable energy, the city council's copper project was as dark as a pile of discarded circuit boards and decidedly not a project worth funding."
