The Word Cool!


Nowadays, the word cool is utilized as a term that emphasizes a positive action or a person’s attitude. For example, I have cool friends, which means, I have very nice friends. Or, that place was very cool, which means, that place was worth visiting. As you can see, by using the word cool we give a hipness to the sentence- making it sound more modern or younger. Everyday people are looking for ways of making language more playful.  For that reason the word cool which originally meant a drop in temperature has reclaimed a new meaning which is to be great, to be nice, to be the best.
