Wonderful James,
Your one worders are excellent examples of grammer.
Here we go, he-he.
Cool: as an adjective
1. Moderately cold; lacking in warmth
2. Not retaining or admitting heat, as a cool dress
3. Not ardent or passionate, exercising self-control, calm, self-possessed
4. Manifesting coldness or dislike, as a cool greeting
5. Calmly impudent, inconsiderately audacious, as a cool stare
6. Stated or estimated without exaggeration, as to inherit a cool million
7. Of colors, producing a sense of coolness, of a hue near green or blue (opp
to warm)
Cool: as a noun
1. A cool time or place
2. Coolness
Cool: as a verb or intransitive
1. To become or make cool
2. To calm or allay
Cool: Synonyms
Mean actually or appartently free from agitation or excitement
1. Cool, specifically implies dispassionateness, calmness, deliberation,
appearance or the like
2. Composed, implies this freedom as the sign of a decorous, sedate temper or
self-discipline
3. Collected, implies a concentration of mind or spirit that eliminates
distractions
4. Unruffled, implies coolness, placidity, and often poise in the midst of
excitement
5. Imperturbable, implies such coolness or assurance that one is beyond
agitation
6. Nonchalant, implies causalness of manner, the sign but not the result of
unconcern
Alright now, just which of all these is James wanting us to picture in our
minds as he throws out the word "cool" at us.?
I had the impression that James was thinking, "thats right" or "admiration" or
"agreement" , the word cool isn't any of those.
Oh-well, guess we each will just have to guess what he ment in our own ways,
and we each will have a different thought as to what he was trying to say. Such
chaos.
Think we need another Chucky one liner here. :-)
Bless you Bob Lee
