A coup is a pretty major achievement, whether it involves taking over a government by force, or landing a major business contract.

When the word coup is used on the nightly news, it's usually describing a military government takeover. In the business section of the daily newspaper, coup might refer to a big corporation landing an important contract or deal. However you use the word coup, don't say the "p" at the end. It's not pronounced like chicken coop. It sounds more like a dove's coo.

Upheaval in Egypt: Is It a "Coup"?

Since the overthrow of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, U.S. government officials have been wrestling with a question of semantics: should Morsi's removal be called a coup? The answer to the question has serious foreign-policy implications, since U.S. law precludes sending non-humanitarian aid to a country that has experienced a military coup.

Our own Ben Zimmer addressed this delicate question in a video interview for Voice of America's Learning English program. The installment also featured comments from VOA listeners hailing from Egypt, Libya, and Macedonia.
