"Cool Beans"

[HollywoodH17]

I've taken to calling people "tossers" thanks to a certain video game critic. As I am in the US, people just look at me funny.

That's a pretty common phrase in my hometown. I don't personally use it, but all the adults seem to. I don't have a phrase, but for some reason when talking to my friends I have a tendency to add "sir" or "ma'am" to the sentence. Not all the time either, so it's weird. One of them calls me on it every time I call him sir.

I'm not too sure where it comes from.. But many of my friends have been saying it for maybe.. 3-6 months. I don't really have a phrase, but I do quote EVERYTHING that I watch if its funny or cool regardless if everyone gets it or not.

 

[Soxafloppin]

I dont know where it came from, but its been around a while.

 

[EeveeElectro]

I've heard it before, I'm sure there was a conversation on here about it? I remember seeing one somewhere.
I don't say it.

 

[JanatUrlich]

LOL I think it's cute! Keep saying it

Yes, I've been saying cool beans for a good 8 years now. I can't remember where I heard it, or why I started saying it, but it's here to stay. I also like referring to things that go badly as "going all pear shaped". I also enjoy saying that things are "louder than a dog passing peach pits" and that things are "slower than molasses in January". I enjoy a good colloquialism. Also, things burn my biscuits.

Cool beans came from the jumunji cartoon that used to be on the they brother said it all the time

I used to say "cool beans" when I decided to pick up dead lingo to spice up my vocabulary. Now I just stick to "rad", though.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

There was a time once when I said it. Now I say "Cool bananas!"

Define: Cool beans

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cool+beans

A slang term that actually began it's use in the late 60's/early 70's. Popularized by the pop culture of the time. Used to describe something very favorable or pleasing. Great. Very nice.

Cheech: Hey man, look at this car made out of weed!
Chong: Oh cool beans, man!

 

[sky14kemea]

I say it all the time, but I use it as one whole word: coolbeans!

Also awesomesauce ^^ and coolcakes.

I say "Sweet Deal" a lot of the time. Also, if I want to really hammer a point across, I add trust to the sentence. For example,
"I'll be rich and famous one day, trust."

 

[crypt-creature]

I've said it every so often. first heard it from a childhood friend and it has since stuck.

As for a phrase? Meh, I guess it would be 'spiffy' or 'spiff', maybe throw in 'neat' and/or 'neat-o' or some other such nonsense.
They are just things I've picked up over time, most I don't have the slightest clue where I first heard it.

 

[rompsku]

I say 'Groovy' a lot.
But not 'Groovy'.

'GroooOOvy'

You don't have the word "Tosser" over there? I never knew that. Welcome to The Escapist, even if I'm a day late.

I say "Christ in a bucket", which I got from Sunday At 10. I think I've heard one friend say coolbeans. She used to say it to a fair few things, then stopped, and I never saw a need to ask her about it.

The only place I have heard it is from Trixi in the Speed Racer movie. But it works for her, not so much anyone else.

 

[brainfreeze215]

I have heard it many times. I'm fairly indifferent towards it. Normally I say something to the effect of "I can dig it."
