1. Cool is a matter of being "in" with the latest style...trendy

2. Cool is not wearing a mullett

3. Cool as an attitude is having the utmost confidence in your self and showing it to the world

4.Cool as an object is having the knowledge of the latest in technology, trends, electronics, etc.

5. It can be for both but i think it is more gender specific to men, because they use it more often in their language i think


Hope this is what you're looking for :p

EXACTLY! Now i just need your name and location. I'm assuming your a girl.

C'mon people. All my friends at school are remedial and couldn't form a sentence if their life depended on it. It just takes a minute of your time.

1. Cool is a positive, confident attitude

2. Cool is not being pushy, mean, or ignorant towards others

3. Cool as an attitude is positive laid back and relaxed

4. Cool as an object is being up on all the latest rends, even if you don't happen to like them

5. Is Cool a word mainly a word used to describe men? Why or Why not? it is def. used more to describe men. the reason being is that women deserve a classier moiker than cool. women are sxy, sophisticated, and, to use the word again, classy. men have class also, but it is different, men are suave.

1. Cool is: A word used to describe poeple of odinary decent. In other words, those that are the definition of ordinary. When you are "cool", you are the epitamy of an ordinary person. Although, cool can also be used to describe something that is unique. IE: A cool quad, is one that looks like no others.

2. Cool is not: How people who dont care what others think are considered. in order for someone to be cool, they must put others down, to bring up there own self esteem.

3. Cool as an attitude is: Although it could mean, badass hard core partier, that doesnt care about anything, it should mean, someone who gets along with everyone, making sure to be neutral in all feelings with others.
4. Cool as an object is: A lizard. It changes with its environment, but always comes back to its true colors.

5. Is Cool a word mainly a word used to describe men? Why or Why not? I would say so. Although women can be cool too, cool is more of a word used to describe guys. Its not really a sexist thing, I just think that women have there own words that they use.

1. Cool is being yourself and not following the crowd. Someone who shows respect for people whether they agree with them or not is cool. Cool is having people like you for who you are and not having to act tough or put on a show for anyone.

2. Cool is not trying to be the toughest kid in school and acting like you are better than anyone else. Cool isnt showing off or putting other people down.

3. Cool as an attitude is laid back and patient. Someone with a cool attitude listens to others before making assumptions and doesnt try to be a hero in a given situation.

4. Cool as an object is something unique, reliable, well thought out, and accomplishes its job well. it doesnt have to be overly complicated as long as its a quality product.

5. I think cool is a word used to describe both men and women. I'd think women would use it more when talking about other women then when a man uses it to describe a woman. Cool means accepted and welcome in a group, and men think of women as attractive rather than cool. so i think men use it when talking about other men and women use it when talking about other men and women.

Hey brad. I know this place is quite safe but it is still the internet open for all to see. I think you should not post your address on the forums for everyone to see. I will pm people who are going to receive stickers for their address so they dont have to post it publicly.

I know this is done.. but it would be pretty "cool" to keep it going to see what everyones opinions are. ;) We could add age for perspective.

Age:31

1. Cool is confident

2. Cool is not arrogant

3. Cool as an attitude is quiet and confident. Always willing to help out. Going above and beyond for your fellow peers. Living with integrity. Cool is not quick to anger. Cool has no need to put down others as cool is confident. Cool elevates those around them, as cool becomes cooler as those around him are elevated in coolness.

4. Cool as an object is simple, sleek, and functional, yet pleasing to the eye, and generally made of metal alloys or space age composites.

5. Is Cool a word mainly used to describe men or masculine objects? Why or Why not? Yes. Cool is used more often by men and when talking about masculine things as men tend to be simplistic and direct in their approach on things. Women tend to be a little more conversational and descriptive. Where a male may say "I saw a ferrari today. It was really freaking cool." A woman may say, "I was walking down main street shoping and talking to one of my girlfriends about her life issues... (20 min sidetrack).. oh yea, we saw this cute little red sports car it had a horsie on the front of it. This old man got out of it with some 19 year old girl.. what a gold digging tramp. You know it made me really angry I felt like...."
