An alternate spelling of the word "cool." Generally used by people too hipster, debutante, or just otherwise awesome to use the banal and overused standard spelling. If the word is being used by people of exceptional class and good taste, an umlaut can be placed over the "e" for extra pizazz. Kewl is used primarily as an affirmative word, to express the user's satisfaction or happiness with a progression of events or of a prior text. People will sometimes mistakenly spell cool with multiple o's, thinking that this elevates the trite "cool" to some sort of higher level. Those people are sadly mistaken, but hopefully someday a kewl person will come along and show them the light.
