Wikipedia wrote:The word cool is of Germanic origin, represented in Middle English by cole and in Old English by col.[1]The vernacular, or slang, use of cool, defined as an inner attitude of tranquility, calm, self-control and composure arose independently in different places. Dick Pountain and David Robins suggest that attitudes similar to modern cool have existed for centuries in several cultures, and trace modern cool back to the "machismo" of Hispanic cultures, the ethic of the Samurai caste in Japan, the warrior castes of India and East Asia, to the "Aristocratic cool" (sprezzatura) in Europe, and to the "Anatolian smile" of Turkey used to mask emotions [2]. Others trace pop culture use of the word cool to African American slang, the black jazz scene and its beatnik groupies in the early part of the twentieth century. Scholar Robert Farris Thompson traces the roots of modern "cool" beyond African American culture to its earlier beginnings in the spiritual concept of "Itutu" in traditional Yoruba culture, and describes cool as a "spiritual cool that freezes your face up".[3]. He acknowledges similarities between African and European cool:

"Africa and Europe share notions of self-control and imperturbability, expressed under a metaphysical rubric of coolness, viz, notions of sang-froid and coolheadedness" (African Art in Motion, 1979, New York, p. 43)

Nothing icy there... any i must say, most people that say "I'm cool and you are not" are clearly NOT cool... Razz

Good explanation.

I would say, I am cool, because... I am cool!

I was just jockin'. Anyway I expect a good explanation from you guys.... I really like to know what stuff do you consider as cool. A friend of mine said something like cool and lame kinda fliped their meaning..... if you're cool you're actually lame.... and if you're lame you're actually cool. Razz

I think that, cool is if you do something original or little special, without showing off, and lame is when you try to do something cool, but you fail, doing something really pathetic.

Sometimes when I'm in good feather, i feel really cool :+) , but in other days i dont feel. Conclusion : It depends of my mood !

by **krod** on Sat Sep 02, 2006 11:47 am

I consider myself cool, but that's not what counts, as it is other people's opinion that counts when it comes to being cool Razz

by **Nintendud** on Sat Sep 02, 2006 1:19 pm

My mom thinks I'm cool!

Anyway, I'm myself. I'm not a "cool dude". Or, maybe I am. I don't know. Isn't that up to the people around you? I don't think one can decide for themselves whether or not they are cool. In my case, the people around me probably think I'm not cool, but I never said I wanted to be cool in the first place. Razz
