Thanks for the birthday wishes! It's been a good day so far. Up way too early (3:20 am...yes, you read that right) so I could take my speech team to the state tournament. We are a small team, but they did well and I'm proud of them.
Now, I'm fixin' to go to a movie and have supper cooked for me. Yay!
That is, if you Americans are still using cool as it was in the early 90s.
My students often say "raw".
Emmett also says, "Beast mode," the opposite of which is apparently "Garb."
Example: Eminem is TOTAL beast mode, but Green Day is garb.*
*I do not endorse this opinion, I merely report it.
Oh, yeah. My kids use "beast" as well for something that is good. "Garb" is a new one to me.
Example: Eminem is TOTAL beast mode, but Green Day is garb.*
What? Emmett is totally garb.
My students still say cool.
I hope cool is still cool.
I should add that I have never heard them say raw, beast, or garb, and I suspect they'd make fun of anyone who did. Maybe it's an LA thing?
I think cool has moved out of slang and is just a part of casual speech now.
