Words for cool things.

Post by Flyingcursor »

I've been trying to think of all the words I've ever heard that express something that people like.

"cool"
"groovy"
"keen"
"neat"

Others?

I started wondering how many words or phrases there are or have been.
Anybody have any idea what they might have used in the 17th century?
I'm no longer trying a new posting paradigm

Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

Sometimes it's cool to be hot. Sometimes it's hot to be cool. But it's never hot to be uncool. And it's never cool to be not too hot. :boggle:

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.
