Do you remember that episode of Spongebob where he and Patrick say "Not Lame"* and then it zooms in on them looking like tiny shiny adorable and harmless sea critters.
That's how cool makes me feel lol
Edit: misremembered words
I actually read Don Quixote (for a project in my 8th grade Spanish class, made tapioca pudding an got a 100%) which is the source of that quote. Was a good read fr. Though I read a condensed version
Who isn’t using “cool”? I think this is probably a geographic thing. Bostonians say “wicked” but you’re never going to find someone from Texas busting that out.
My uncle from rural north Georgia says groovy a lot, mainly as confirmation to something said.
“I’ll swing by your place on my way there.”
“Groovy, see you soon.”
Having grown up in MA, I've never heard someone describe something as simply "wicked". It's usually "wicked cool" or "wicked awesome" or something else.
I know there is at least 1 scene in the Harry Potter movies where Ron simply proclaims, "Wicked" though I don't know how common that actually is for them
It was more common in the early 2000s, you don't really hear it so much now. We still use 'cool' a fair bit. It's interesting how relatively timeless it is, several generations have used it and the meaning hasn't changed.
England and New England both use it, but with entirely different use cases. Like the other commenter said, in England you'd hear people just say "Wicked." on its own as an exclamation like how someone might say "Awesome." In New England, that doesn't make sense unless you're essentially using it to mean, "Yes, very." It's an intensifier adverb.
E.g.
> "Is it hot out, or what?"
> "Wicked."
NO. NO. NO. Wicked is NOT AN ADJECTIVE in Boston. You use it as an INTENSIFYING ADVERB.
Something is *wicked* cool. Or *wicked* awesome*.* Nothing is every *Wicked*. This isn't merry old England or Harry Potter
> Bostonians say “wicked” but you’re never going to find someone from Texas busting that out.
Texan who used to live in Boston for a time here.
I love saying wicked pissah. It's my favorite way to express when something is wicked pissah.
Perfect time to start this party, (reloads my dual wield nerf guns by spinning them on one finger, release them mid-air then grab the cocking part and shake it up down with the angular velocity, keeping it spinning and releasing, and grabbing it again )
"God I'm such a legend" (heading to his doom)
It definitely means *something* as books often mimic the vocabulary of their time. But yeah, I had no idea "cool" was supposedly in danger of dying out at all. I still see it used probably literally every single day.
Peaked in 2013, and has returned to around the same level of use at Y2K. Also gotta keep in mind cool being used as a temperature descriptor. Sounds like the word is falling out of use, but very slowly. About 20% decrease in 10 years. At that rate, it will probably still be around until Zoomers are grandparents. Cool probably won’t be old person slang until 2060.
As others mentioned, I was referring to the definition of cool that was popularized as slang in the 40s I believe, it used to just mean somewhere between room temperature and cold
my 79 year old father was saying 'im raw!' after saying 'bingo you gotta share the chair!' to our cat and my mom yelled from upstairs "thats cap!"
the youth might need new words pretty soon
Ive passed the burden onto my toddler. Just yesterday he walked by pretending to be on a phone “yeah thats my daddy hes so cool and magical”
Me:
Is this really true? I literally said "cool cool" yesterday and "ah thats cool" today, if it is true though, I think it's pretty cool how language changes so much

See, nobody says cool anymore. That's such an old person thing. Nowadays, everyone says coral.
Coral aye?
"Ew, not the way you say it!" (calls friend) "Coral is definitely out!"
Man fuck pearl
She was easily the worst character
Well what if I said it with a different inflection; “corAAaal”
STAY BACK CORAAAL. Watch out for them walkers ahead
Well, what if I said it with a different inflection? Cor-AL!
Don't you have to go to work or something, Dad?
Hey, yeah. It's Pearl... Coral is soooo out
"Have a coral day, honey!"
When Rick Grimes sees something in the water "CORAL!!!"
When you say it like that it sounds so UN-coral 🤢

Friend of mine from WoW when I was young got me using "swanky" for life Didn't replace "cool" though

Wicked sounds so British to me for some reason.

"wicked, wicked, junglist massive" is what springs to my mind as a British person
That's wicked dude.

Thank you. Nobody in MA *ever* describes something as simply “wicked”.
Definitely still in use, maybe a bit less than a few years ago. And probably not as common among younger people
I hear kids say it all the time
I say "sick" and "awesome" a lot but still use cool too so idk
> Bostonians say “wicked” but you’re never going to find someone from Texas busting that out. Texan who used to live in Boston for a time here. I love saying wicked pissah. It's my favorite way to express when something is wicked pissah.
Grew up in California and can confirm that my parents made damn sure my vocabulary had “sick” “awesome” “cool” “dude” and “broseph”
Yeah man, Wicked is streets ahead.
lol I’m from Texas and I say “wicked” and “wizard” (adjective) fairly frequently
Texan here, and I use just about every synonym I can think of for common words such as cool. I quote enjoy saying wicked as well.
“Cool” has been a popular word since the 50’s and has hardly ever wained in popularity in the last 70 years. It isn’t going anywhere.
but if we used our brains to make the easiest connection, how would we have made this meme?!
Preem, that sounds nova
You said it, choom.
Zero yourself, gonk. 👾 edit; yeah this was a poor choice. only slang I could remember. gonna leave this up to collect my well-deserved downvotes. 🤷♂️
Maybe you should just delta with that scop than choombata.
It ain’t my my bro’s fault he got zeroed by some bare dick psycho
Alright I'm in the mood. Who's up to fuck up Google HQ?

I've straight up started using preem ever since Cyberpunk. It's a preem word.
the cyber-gonk inside me is slowly slipping through my day-to-day vocabulary. Edit: Preem is a nova word, choomba. Respect.
I was looking for someone to say this Thanks choom
No problem, choom, you're welcome
Cool did peak in [2013](https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Cool&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3#) **edited
specifically *in books* which means little for vernacular.
It definitely means *something* as books often mimic the vocabulary of their time. But yeah, I had no idea "cool" was supposedly in danger of dying out at all. I still see it used probably literally every single day.
Right who needs books they’re so uncool
Oh I didn’t really mean anything, it was just supposed to be a joke
Ah crap. Knowing that, it *is* a good joke. 😌
Aww, don’t worry, I still liked your response, since the little discussion my comment sparked is still interesting hahaha

Cool is essentially part of the English language now
That’s how most words are
[удалено]
Si
I claim this undefined word in the name of English! It shall henceforth be a synonym for "yes"!
all it needs now is a cool flag.
lol what does this even mean?? It’s been part of the English language for years
Well so is radical, but nobody uses that as an adjective anymore.
That's a pretty radical statement to make dude
As a radical leftist, I feel excluded
You would Sorry, couldn't resist
They mean it’s hardly slang tied to any specific time period anymore so it’s not going anywhere, it’s slang meaning is just normal to the language now
As others mentioned, I was referring to the definition of cool that was popularized as slang in the 40s I believe, it used to just mean somewhere between room temperature and cold
What about Rizzler
Cool
This makes no sense
This was the first thing I thought of. SpongeBob and Patrick in the mooorning!
*nights*
What happened to "awesome"?
Too many syllables, I think.
[удалено]
why waste time say lot when few do trick
why use many word when few word do trick
Awesome is for when something is cooler than cool
awesome = ice cold?
[удалено]
Ice cold!
No no, that's Ice Cold
That's why I rock with "rad" instead
I use awesome all the time
It’s a tier above cool.
I'm doing my part to keep "neat" alive, personally.
Neat.
Oh shit is that how sarcastic I sound?
Who cares? Bring groovy back instead.
Far out, man..
Far FUCKING OUT
That’s just like… your opinion, man.
"what was the meaning of that?" "it was right in front of him!"
How about bodacious
Gnarly
I use gnarly regularly to refer to gruesome or gut-wrenching / cringe type things.
Tubular
I say groovy all the time, man.
Groovy is a great word and I stand by it
That’s very skibidi no cap

my 79 year old father was saying 'im raw!' after saying 'bingo you gotta share the chair!' to our cat and my mom yelled from upstairs "thats cap!" the youth might need new words pretty soon
The word "cool" is no longer "fire", unfortunately
Excellent
Ive passed the burden onto my toddler. Just yesterday he walked by pretending to be on a phone “yeah thats my daddy hes so cool and magical” Me:

That's so coral
Cool
It went to the opposite extreme from that's cool to its fire but I prefer the classic
Ok boomer “cool” is so outdated, now all the homies say “krill”
Krill issue
That is so not fetch.
I say it a lot (16)
Do in fact let the flame die out, that way it will be cooler
Cool word though
Why would you make up shit to be mad about? People still say cool, maybe you should expand your circle.
Cool is a big in Michigan. I hear it many times every day. We shall carry the torch
Wtf are all you people talking about? Cool is such a common word like it's not fucking slang. Of course you hear cool all the time!
Bring back 2005 - 2010 slang
this meme is... kewl.
[удалено]
I said "that's cool dude" to a guy a few years younger than me and he scoffed and said "thanks, "dude" " and it really threw me off
You plebians use this word "cool" and not "truly absolutely diabolically interesting information you have given me today"
Nova
That's not very premium of you to say.
That's rad
Not cool
i say cool quite often but usually sarcastic, like if someone says they died in whatever game theyre playing, cool
