What does it mean to be 'cool'?

It means you have ice in your veins/don't get rattled.

I wonder what "alot of p***y" would look like? Hmm...

 

Here you go. Explains everything you need to know.

 

This thread is relevant to my interests....

Indeed. Don't believe it? Just watch the man in Bullit, circa 1968. One of my favorite films. That cat is cool. 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.

 

actually being cool just means being normal. if some dude is really chill, laid back, nice normal guy -- i'd be like...yea hes a cool guy.

if your a dick, a jerk, cheap, a desparate perv, **** talker, drama queen..or something you do is annoying or ur just not fun to be around...or whatever, then yea..ur not cool..

 

One of my favorite movies. He stars in two of my favorites: Bullitt and The Great Escape, and he only acted to fund his motorcycle and car racing.

It means you go everywhere with a popped collar and a pair of shades.

 

p***y without either looks or money, respect without power.

 

If someone can come up and try to talk crap about you to your face, and you can just give them a kind of knowing smile and a little head shake and walk on by because there opinion doesn't mean squat to you, then you are cool.

 

And McQueen did his own driving in Bullitt during what is considered the first classic cinema car chase and remains, to this day, arguably the best. His own driving! I don't think that car chase through San Francisco could be filmed today. The city probably wouldn't allow it. And I can't imagine an actor driving the car like McQueen did, without even one stunt driver for the "hard" parts. Of course, he also drove that bike in The Great Escape, a terrific film in its own right, as you point out. The guy was one of a kind.



Yes, that's McQueen driving the Mustang!

 

When you have at least 5 "haters" and then you proceed to address these "haters" every other day on your Facebook status.

 

Hot, because after a while you see how people react to you as opposed to others, and you subconsciously build enough confidence and optimism to take more risks and assert yourself when others wouldn't. Assuming you're not a fundamentally self-destructive person, you'll either be more successful or just get enough second chances after failing that it doesn't eat away at your psyche or self-esteem.

 

Normally it should mean spiritually being yourself and having integrity without the materialism.

Infortunately cool culture today is either aesthetic leading to vapidness, or hipsters trying too hard to look like they effortlessly don't care. People (of mostly caucasian background but there's exceptions) trying to be as functionally sad and brooding as possible making an art form out of it.

 

If you listen to "Pumped Up Kicks" while smoking Winston's. You are cool.

At least that's what I see at the CVS on the weekends off of Washington St.

 

apathy, confidence, originality (I'm cool)

 

The cool don't have as much fun as the uncool.
