The History of Cool is a list of words that have meant, well, "cool" around the world and through the ages.
I've come to dislike the word "cool" when it's used to mean..."fab", as the Beatles used to say, though I admit it's a useful adjective. It's just overused. And really, it means the same thing as the Parisian "that's hot", doesn't it, which is absurd. So now, inspired by this list, whenever I want to express my appreciation for some cultural gewgaw, I will use the Bondian "splendid" or the Lynchian "peachy keen".
Won't I?
