It’s like cool has unofficially been accepted by multiple generations to be the template by which all other trendy words are cut from.

My wife and I were trying to come up with other slang that has held up like this for basically 100 years. Couldn’t come up with any.
O.K. started off as weird-ass trendy slang thing in the 1800s but now is just a straight up regular word. But cool is just…cool.
Non-native speaker here, most phrasal verbs sound like slang to me, because they just pick a verb that kinda resembles the action but isn’t quite it, and you use your imagination to give meaning to it… like “hang out”.
That’s pretty neat. It’s nice to hear.
That’s pretty lit.
Besides swear words, like shit and fuck?
