Okay okay okay okay. Possible etymology here. Mightnt be right, if anyone knows, please comment. This is just a nerdy guess.
'Cop on' means to got some sense into yourself, stop acting foolish. Right, it probably came from latin and a verb which means to take (take/get your thoughts with you) BUT in Gaelige (irish language, like a lot of european languages it is friends with latin) one of the verbs for 'to think' is 'ceap'
For what I can tell, cop on is used mostly in ireland and the british isles, and it later spawned to 'cotton on' in some places.
So, when you say 'cop yourself on', are we really just saying 'ceap yourself on' or, in other words, get your thoughts back to you.
