"Cool" has been around since how long?


we know jazz artist's said cool, so whats that? 30's earliest?


other colloquialisms become dated..

for ex: no one says "hip" anymore...or at least not enough people to where a young child won't do a double take once heard..


ya follow?


...when will it be un-cool to be "cool"?

horatio said:

but that's just an attempt to enchance "cool"'s coolness when you think about it..

it insists on itself.

SirPsycho said:

yes it is

Oh God, there is this dude at work who always uses terms like "kool" in his emails to me. Every time I read it I wanna punch the computer monitor. He's like married with kids and shit.

Yuck.

JustErin said:

so it's no-longer cool with a "k"? or only when he does it?

It will be the word that unites us all.

SirPsycho said:

It's never cool with a "k".

morningsong said:

why "will be" and not "is"? (out of curiosity.)

morningsong said:

cool

JustErin said:

this is true.

i guess when can say the "c" is pivotal then..

Okay, should "cool" still be considered to be slang?

interesting..go on..

SirPsycho said:

well, we all are on one accord as far as understanding what it means, so I guess we are, we just haven't realized yet. At that point it'll be all well...cool.

horatio said:

ah, pooh

morningsong said:

oh. i get it..."will be" as in "until the end of time". like "always"

SirPsycho said:

Ummmm, more like for all time

morningsong said:

whats the difference?

SirPsycho said:

for me? idk, the "end" sounds so final. I'm feeling hopeful right now, so I prefer the possibility of the infinite. Besides I hadn't thought that deeply about it.

morningsong said:

oh. ok. cool.

SirPsycho said:

how's this for a mind ...ever notice how every once and a while it becomes cool to be un-cool?

SirPsycho said:

Cool will never be uncool.
It will be uncool to spell with a k but the word is timeless.
