cope

Literally the opposite of what some people mean when they use this word, to cope is to deal effectively, without exerting undue effort, with a situation that would likely be a challenge for less skillful individuals.

Jack: He seems ok on the surface, but underneath he's full of cope. Jill: That word doesn't mean what you seem to think it means. For one thing, it's a verb. Jack: Cope! Seethe! Mald! Jill: Nah, dude, don't flatter yourself. I really don't care. But you could do yourself a favor by learning to cope—with the English language.
