A "hasbeen" crane inspector who always tells you that your crane needs a new wire rope regardless of it's condition.
Mike "the rope" wrote us up again on the crane report. He said we need to replace the wire rope that was just installed last month.

$ROPE
Often written as "long $ROPE" this phrase is used when someone has lost a lot of money on an investment. This is most commonly seen on r/WallStreetbets and is used to indicate that the poster should invest in rope i.e. hang themselves.

Roping
In online game playing, "roping" is when one player deliberately slows down the gameplay in hopes his/her opponent will concede rather than keep playing.
This term originates from the Hearthstone game, which showed a burning rope about 30 seconds before your turn would time out. "Roping" meant to delay finishing your turn until the rope started to burn (or even until just before the rope burned out).
Roping should really only be frustrating if you think you're winning, but only the most dedicated fans will put up with very much of it.
