The slang term "cool" - 80 years and still going strong!

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 16 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Is it one of the most enduring of these kinds of popular slangs?

[–] oce@jlai.lu 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The most enduring ones are probably considered formal English now.

[–] hansl@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

β€œOkay”

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I think so - can't think of a longer-lived one off the top of my head, not counting words that used to be considered slang but became official. "Cool" has always been too cool to not be considered slang!

😎 is pronounced as [bad to the bone riff]

I wonder what the other grandpa is under. Besides grandma, that is.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

6 feet of dirt.

Hot Grandpa

[–] Jajcus@kbin.social 28 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I wonder what is wrong with the other grandpa

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 60 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Racist grandpa. When he talks about little yellow guys he's not referring to emojis

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

"You were in 'Nam?"

"Oh don't misunderstand, he wasn't in the war. He was just there last week on a business trip."

You’re in my phone as β€œSad Grandpa”

[–] homesnatch@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

That's better than "touchy grandpa"

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

β€œGrandpa, It’s no longer cool to say β€˜those little yellow guys’”

[–] SamXavia@kbin.run 10 points 9 months ago

I think that is a cool Grandpa 😎😎😎😎😎😎

[–] Aurelius@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

I love that they are ACTUALLY in their phone as β€œcool grandpa” lol

edit: i can’t type

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 9 points 9 months ago

Well of course they are, they would be lying to their cool grandpa otherwise.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Well yeah, if cool grandpa asked β€œam I still in your phone as cool grandpa” and then they said β€œof course” and it wasn’t true, cool grandpa would teleport there and give them an ass whoopin’ for lying

[–] numberfour002@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago
