And what the hell are all supposed to mean? Also, get off my lawn.
“Cool” has been around for a lot longer than calling things “fire”. Things will continue to be called cool, until the next fad rolls around, and then it’ll go back to being called cool again.
But that’s the thing, I’ve seen “cold” being used, not “cool”, and I find it weird as hell.
You thought you were slick, didn’t you? Rad? Tubular? Mean?
Fads come and go. Some are better than others, I am personally partial to “slick.” Fire will fade away but cool will return just like it always has.
It’s groovy or nothing.
Narly, dude.
"What’s cooler than cool? Ice cold"
Those were both common stoner/skater/hip-hop terms when I was young in the 1990s. I imagine that they’re much older though.
Yeah, that shit’s weak. It ain’t tight or sweet at all.
He fell like a bum!
I wasn’t aware fire or cold was measurements for how popular something was?
When did this tempature based popularity start?
When did this tempature based popularity start?
It’s been cool for a long time

This gets more and more true with everyday. I understand less and less of the world around me.
I wonder how Gen Z wojld react to something being reffered to as “all that and a bag of chips”.
And none of this shrinkflation crap. The bag of chips used to be huge!

I recently had someone explain to me what “And that’s where I came in” meant.
I expect to explain to people why we say “roll down the window”, or what the save icon is, lol

Gen Z was born into a fully matured internet. They will just look up any old phrases and immediately learn anything they want.

I too am disturbed by the noted decline in Austin Powers references among high school students.
