It's comforting to know I don't have to try to keep up with the latest slang:
Groovy is over, hip is square, far out is long gone. Don't worry, though -- it's cool.
"Cool" remains the gold standard of slang in the 21st century, as reliable as a blue-chip stock, surviving like few expressions ever in our constantly evolving language. It has, despite the pressures of staying relevant and trendy, kept its cool through the centuries -- even as its meaning changed drastically.How cool is that?
Neat.
