If I knew someone who owned a cool, I'd probably refer to it, when speaking to them, as "Your cool". But as I never knew it was a noun, this has never come up in conversation. As Christmas is right around the corner, point me in the direction of one of these cools and I shall purchase one for my closest friend and ally, then see if the opportunity arises to say "Your Cool".

How people just don't care you say? Well just like that

One who says that they're cool is not really cool, one who is called cool, is.

Not to toot my own horn, but I'm basically the "cool nerd" of the school.

Ding ding ding.

My mom says I'm cool...

I said i don't care... that makes me cool, right?

roblikestoskate:
The title of the thread should read "Do you think you're cool?" Correct grammar and spelling are always cool.

I prefer the phrase "bang tidy" myself.

Haven't you ever heard not to believe you're parents?

Anyway, Iron Ninja stole what I was going to say(Damn you for being so fast >.<.) Anyway, I agree with him. COOL really isn't anything special to be called. Your friends may think you're cool, but then again, there are people who think you're a complete asshole. It really varies on the person.

im not so bothered, when people ask me if im cool, i just say "no, not really, im a nerd trying to fit in"
but when im around my friends i generally tell them im the coolest one there XD but they know im joking

no im not cool

A random person asked to touch my hair today. I think I am becoming like their god. Perhaps I can cure leprosy.

No I don't call myself cool.

What the hell? This is ridiculous.

me? cool? no. ok...probly, sweet...sure, awesome...maybe but cool no way in hell

I'm super cool. That's why I'm talking about how cool I am on an internet forum.

Don't know, don't care. Some people seem to think I'm cool, but I don't, and I certainly don't try to be. Guess Coolness is as coolness does.

The only thing more pathetic than an abject conformist is a fashionable nonconformist. :P

So I have the choice of being a conformist and feel constantly under pressure to impress my peers with my ability to be 'cool'. Or I have the choice of being a fashionable nonconformist? I don't see a middle ground there... I'd rather do and act as I please as opposed to what other people tell me.

PedroSteckecilo:

So do we.

Anyways to answer the question, I'm not cool but I'm liked. I really don't give a shit what most people think. Most of the cool people are either douchebags or annoying as hell.

I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs.

So, not cool in any way at first sight. People who think that I'm lame because I don't drink aren't "cool" either in my opinion, so it all balances out.

My avatar proves how cool I am.

I don't really care either way, though i'm referred to as 'a cool geek'.

Which could be taken two ways, but i long ago stopped caring what other people think.

How does one define cool? is cool the presence of popularity? The abscence of counter-culture or anti-conformity? If so then being cool come at the cost of free thinking, I am not cool, not only do I not say i'm cool but I avidly defend my uncoolness. In the 21st century cool has somehow become defined as jocks or cheerleaders or "popular kids" but when an entire world is being redifined with the constant advancement of electronics and technology shouldn't people on the forefront of this field be considered 'cool'? the world is constantly changing and people seem content to live in the 90's. It's also interesting to note that no one is ever cool, just uncool. By being yourself and not caring about social judgement we somehow cast ourselves out of society, people are content with conformity and the presence of free thinkers and people who are able and willing to defend their point and not listen to sheeple has diminished sizebly.

You mean surface temperature?

Exactly. Don't do anything based strictly on what other people think!

SunoffaBeach:
1) Someone imitates others: uncool
2) Someone does his own thing: uncool
3) Someone does his own thing and others imitate him: cool

So 3 is cool because 1 believes 3 is cool. But 1 is uncool.

Conclusion: There is no 'cool'.

What about number 2?!

The word cool is subjective. It depends on your perspective, but in most perspectives, I am not, but I don't care that much.

im the height of uncool and i know it so every now and then i say im cool to start ragewars but thats about it and to justify my height of uncool statement walking around school with a world of warcraft hat on backwards roleplaying jedi's with a friend for about 3 weeks...

I think I am cool, and I tell people I am cool, but thats mostly to keep the illusion that is my self confidence intact.

if a person calls themself cool wouldn't that make them conceited?

Fox1789:

If someone calls themself cool it's either ironically or not cool at all.

I call myself cool out of irony, though I'm not cool at all.

dunno i think the people i hang with are pretty cool.

but thats just my point of view dont know 'bout everyone else

I've been accused of being "cool" before. I will vehemently deny it as it is my goal to be uncool, unattractive and so on.

I have asked those accusers just what it is about me that has made them come to this conclusion about me and the same general things keep popping up...

"You do your own thing, act your own way without caring what other people might say about you. You have the guts to go and do something even if you might look like a fool doing it. You're polite and never rude. You've almost always got a smile on your face and if you haven't got one, if anyone approaches you it's like you were just keeping it warm in your pocket waiting for them."

I suppose, however, that to understand all of this you would have to meet me or someone as powerfully cool as me. I wish you the best of luck in doing so.
