Perhaps the ultimate slang word. It's origins are amongst African-American culture and became mainstream after Jazz broke out into popularity in the 20s and 30s. The word actually has nothing to do with the English term "cool" but is actually derived from the West African term "kule". Don't believe me? Search wikipedia. Some dumbass motherfuckers spell it "kewl" when they chat online. What fools.
