Wherever you discuss anything, at some point there is always a clamour for a new topic. When you take the word 'TOPIC' and write it anew, you get several possible words, some with meaning and some without. We shall examine a few new 'TOPIC's.
TOPIC = COP IT
'Cop it' usually means die. When we say, "Cop it!", we mean, "Die!" or "Perish!" or some such thing. Though 'cop' on its own might mean police, the police may not have any role to play in "cop it" unless it is a case of police brutality to the extreme.
TOPIC = CO PIT
Co-pit is what a pit calls a nearby pit, within the same boundary. A coal pit in a colliery may call another coal pit 'co-pit' instead of 'coal pit' without prejudice.
TOPIC = PICOT
Picot is something to do with needling, when needling stays needling and does not degenerate into ragging. It is actually a series of small embroidered loops forming an ornamental edging on some ribbon and lace. It comes from old French where pic means point and piquer means prick (pique.) No, not that.
TOPIC = TICOP
TICOP is the acronym for Tourism Industry Code of Practice. It is a sensational code, though why sensational, I've forgotten. By this code, guests' satisfaction is monitored regularly, though don't ask me how.
TOPIC = PI COT
This is a cot built in the shape of the Greek letter Pi. Quite a shape, wouldn't you say? The proportions are 22 by 7. However, just as a pi dog is a dog deranged, so the pi cot is better avoided to avoid nightmares.
TOPIC = COPTI
This is an endearing way to call a policeman, as in "Hey, copti, please find me my shoe." The reactions of individual policemen may vary, though. It is better to remember that a touch of a policeman may lead to 36 wounds, so perhaps it's prudent to avoid this particular form of endearment.
TOPIC = OPTIC
Optic is to do with the eye, or vision. However, a man of vision need not be described as an optic man. Also, when we say, he or she is an eyeful, it is better not to describe him or her as an optic person. Otherwise, optic is of or to do with eye or vision.
TOPIC = ICPOT
ICPOT or IC-POT is the acronym of Interexchange Carrier's Point of Termination. It is terrifically exciting in some vague way.
IC-POT is also that quaint brownish piece of fixture that you may find in a toilet aboard an Indian Airlines flight. Don't fear, recent research has shown typing on your computer keyboard may lead to more diseases than sitting on an IC-POT.
TOPIC = TIPCO
At last a word with no apparent meaning, though there is a food company in Thailand called TIPCO.
TOPIC = IPCOT
IPCOT stands for In-Place Consecutive Overseas Tour. It is a military term. It leads to a happy married life.
TOPIC = PIOCT
This is one of those terms which seem to mean something spectacular. However, nothing comes of it.
TOPIC = O PICT
This is how one addressed certain ancient people in Northern Britain. It sounds Shakespearean, but it is actually much older.
TOPIC = OI PCT
This is a rather stern way of addressing PCT, or per cent, also called per centum. One can also address someone from the Pennsylvania College of Technology in the same stern manner.
TOPIC = IC-PTO
This is an integrated circuit where each code is apparently written on the other side, so you just have to keep turning it over. Don’t do this in public, however, you might get committed.
TOPIC = OCTIP
This shall become the acronym for the Oriental College of Technology, Information & Para-medicine, once it is formed.

I think that you should have different interpretations for each, eg., TI COP ...
1) is an examiner of the quality of texas instruments
2) vessel for drinking the brew, as popularly pronounced in bengali
3) a security person of the particular plant species
