  ircop
       
           /*r'-kop/ ("{IRC}" + "{op}", but with the,
          presumably intentional, alternate analysis "IRC" + "cop")
          Someone who is endowed with privileges on {IRC}, not limited
          to a particular {channel}.  These privileges include {channel


          op} privileges in any channel, but also notably include the
          ability to disconnect a user from the IRC network.
       
          Ircops are generally people who are in charge of the IRC
          {server} at their particular {site}.  Compare {op}.
