It's funny that you ask this question, because I swear I looked up the word "cool" in the dictionary just the other day.
What makes something "cool"? Does it mean something that's:
1) Trendy?
2) Rebellious?
3) Fashionable?
Well, this is my etymology (word history) on the word cool: Originally, people used the word "cool" negatively, like, "That person acted cool towards me," instead of "That person acted warm towards me."
Cool describes someone who is cold, stand-offish, uninterested, and independent.
So who's really cool in my book?
