What is 'Cool' ?

az2wp0sye65487 · 24-07-2009 11:25am #1

I was thinking about different people I know and how even though I know a variety of different types of people, I'd consider a lot of them 'cool'.

So what makes a person cool? Are you cool? I'd like to think I'm cool - but not in an obsessive way...

For me, someone who is cool will:

- Have a good sense of humour / makes me laugh
- Not be too uptight about anything
- Be good company, someone you like to be around
- Friendly
- Not bitchy (in a nasty way)
- Able to see the funny / bright side of any situation

People who try to be cool, generally aren't.

Fecking hell OP - judging by your criteria I'm cool. Excellent.

I most certainly am not cool, but I'm cool about that. :cool:

Looking cool and being cool are two different things .People who are cool dont have to try to be cool because they are just being themselfs .

Buying a domain just for that - not cool.

It's usually the quiet lads, the ones who will sit in the middle of the group not saying much, just looking quietly amused at the jokes and whatever.

It's all about understated class, baby :cool:

I don't care if I'm cool or not, does that make me cool?

Saibh · 24-07-2009 11:33am

Never tell your friends that you're cool, it isn't cool to do so :cool:

At least you're not pretending to be cool when you know you're not. Very very difficult to be cool and a 'smug bastard' at the same time!

If you want to be cool, this is the man you must aim to be like:

Coolness personified.

Cool is an adjective meaning moderately cold; neither warm nor cold e.g. a rather cool evening.

ChocolateSauce · 24-07-2009 11:59am

I'm so uncool, I was uncool before it was cool to be uncool.

He's a down-and-out alcoholic loser who'll be dead in the next five years, and Chuck Norris is an old man who I could beat to death at this stage.

I hate the internet obsession with these nobodies :mad:

But you know who they are so they're not nobodies.

Also - giving out about Chuck Norris? Very uncool.
