A cop out is considered to be a poor or inadequate excuse for not doing something. A good example of a cop out is if you ask a friend to accompany you somewhere and they claim they need to wash their hair as an excuse not to go.

An example of a thing that is a cop-out might be a surfer seeing what seems to be a giant wave building, but it comes through and is just a little swell. A person copping out might be one who decides that the giant wave is too dangerous, and backs off instead of riding it.
