Just curious...

COOL = out of the freezer

StCloud said:

...warmer than cold...

Colder than hot, but not cold or warm

I always like Luke warm...

Its kinda like

schmoov or

sweet or you could define it as

nice or

tight.

Cool-io is defined more as wild, shaggy or lazy-eyed.

A pool is filled with water, a cool is filled with skateboarders.

A state of mind. Being in control, finese, and knowing it.
Being mentally above the bullshit that surrounds you.

Cool is an attitude.

You are cool if:

Your favorite artist(Prince?) walks up to you, you can smile
and say...Hi! How are you?...and if anyone feels awkward
it's him.

You see your guy (girl) talking to another and you can walk
right up and smile and say to them both..."hello, how are
you guys?" and not bring it up again.

You know exactly who you are; therefore you are not
threatened by what others say or do.

You don't need to be first; you don't have to be noticed
to be happy.

You don't have to have the last word.

You love to make other people feel at ease and good about
themselves.

You never even think of hitting your partner.

You are not full of yourself.

Just my humble opinion...

Cool is a direct result of being
BAD!!!

It's All On The VIBE!!!

Cool is.. hmmm... it's a ... err... the feeling... no, the sentiment of having...errr... of BEING hmmm... oh, duck it.

If you need to be told, you ain't cool. If I can explain it, I ain't either.

Being "cool" is sort like being "hip"; if you have to try and be it, you're not.

If you think you're hip, you're not.

If you're trying to be hip, you're not.

If you think you're cool, you're not.

If you're trying to be cool, you're not.

IT just IS. It's a state of being that has no affectations.

Cool is also what SensualMelody said.

coolish adj.

coolness n.
Synonyms: cool, composed, collected, unruffled, nonchalant, imperturbable, detached
These adjectives indicate absence of excitement or discomposure in a person, especially in times of stress. Cool usually implies merely a high degree of self-control, but it may also indicate aloofness: “Keep strong, if possible. In any case, keep cool. Have unlimited patience” (B.H. Liddell Hart). “An honest hater is often a better fellow than a cool friend” (John Stuart Blackie). Composed implies serenity arising from self-discipline: The dancer was composed as she prepared for her recital. Collected suggests self-possession: The witness remained collected throughout the questioning. Unruffled emphasizes calm despite circumstances that might elicit agitation: “with contented mind and unruffled spirit” (Anthony Trollope). Nonchalant describes a casual manner that may suggest, sometimes misleadingly, a lack of interest or concern: He reacted to the news in a nonchalant manner. Imperturbable stresses unshakable calmness usually considered as an inherent trait: “A man... /Cool, and quite English, imperturbable” (Byron). Detached implies aloofness resulting either from lack of active concern or from resistance to emotional involvement: He sat through the service with a detached air. See also synonyms at cold
Our Living Language The usage of cool as a general positive epithet or interjection has been part and parcel of English slang since World War II, and has even been borrowed into other languages, such as French and German. Originally this sense is a development from a Black English usage meaning “excellent, superlative,” first recorded in written English in the early 1930s. Jazz musicians who used the term are responsible for its popularization during the 1940s. As a slang word expressing generally positive sentiment, it has stayed current (and cool) far longer than most such words. One of the main characteristics of slang is the continual renewal of its vocabulary and storehouse of expressions: in order for slang to stay slangy, it has to have a feeling of novelty. Slang expressions meaning the same thing as cool, like bully, capital, hot, groovy, hep, crazy, nervous, far-out, rad, and tubular have for the most part not had the staying power or continued universal appeal of cool. In general there is no intrinsic reason why one word stays alive and others get consigned to the scrapheap of linguistic history; slang terms are like fashion designs, constantly changing and never “in” for long. The jury is still out on how long newer expressions of approval such as def and phat will survive.
