It's survey time! I found (and made up) some options that could be used for "cool" in the not too distant future. My MS is not dystopian, just about 60 yrs away and in it I have a young man or three who have to express their wonderment. Cool has been around for about 70 yrs already (can you believe it? feel old? me too!), so it will probably pass the test of time, but who knows! So tell me your thoughts and vote...it'll be cool!
- tame
daff- lucid
- straight
- poppin
- hamster
- stupid
- or just stick with cool
And 2nd, I'm a winner!! Woo hoo! Say it again. Woo hoo!
I won 3rd prize in Laura's Character Blogfest! Yea-uhh! (any Regular Show fans?) I won a 5 page crit from Melanie Billings, Aquisitions Editor for Whiskey Creek Press! Perfect timing too, because I just found an awesome agent to query who wants my first five pages! *stops to bend down and take a breath*
I am super stoked, dudes! I hope you all have a stupid weekend! (hamster weekend?) Just go enjoy yourselves!
Hmmm. I think I still prefer cool. I'm hoping sick won't be around for much longer. It's getting confusing because it's also being used for the original meaning of sick. So I can't figure out if someone is saying something great or not great!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the prize. Hopefully the editor is quick so you can send the agent the five pages. Good luck!
I'd say we stick with cool too. I already have my son saying it. Congratulations on winning the Character blogfest! :) And thank you so much for the mention. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe in the future 'groovy' will make a comeback.
LOL! I've never heard hamster. I guess I'm not "hamster" :)
ReplyDeleteI vote for lucid. It sounds very near future to me, and is also a very cool word. See what I did there?
ReplyDeleteWell, I lived through "groovy", so I vote for cool!
ReplyDeleteEven old people can still use cool (me)
ReplyDeleteI love the Regular Show. Funny, decent, and down to earth with their feelings. Yet way out there when they go into those crazy dementions.

Congrats! My son says "beast" that's suppose to mean cool. =)
ReplyDeleteThat's beast mom, he says. Go figure.
Congrats on getting 3rd place!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to think of how words and word meaning can change, even in 50 years from now.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I think of the word 'cool' I think of the movie Mars Needs Moms. The alien chick says, "That's very low temperature, man." My kids didn't get it but the hubby and I had a good laugh about it.
don't forget wicked, or rad - although I'm not sure what that's short for :)
ReplyDeleteMy vote is daff. I like the sound of it! Congratulations on your win!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comments on my blog.

Congrats on an agent wanting your pages!
All wonderful and inspiring!
And any Browncoat will tell you that we say 'Shiny' in the future.

Congratulations on your win. YaY!
ReplyDeleteI think Cool will never go out of style. But I'm digging Lucid.
I like tame. It sounds like a great replacement for cool that isn't hard to believe.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on the win, and an agent to give your first five to!
I vote lucid.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
And hooray on the crit and agent for the first five!!! Keep us posted!
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteAnd I vote for hamster - because it made me laugh.
Thanks so much for the congrats!
ReplyDeletesick should be out soon, beast is in now, my kids say it too.
groovy, wicked & rad had their time, but you never know
(rad was fir radical =)
hamster is an actual techie slang term for a program that wont stop running! like hes on a wheel, ha!

how could i forget shiny! i did think of it, but couldnt remember where i heard it!
and thanks for the votes, love your reasons too!
I'm with Heather on this one. SHINY! hehehe! Browncoats forever. :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough, hamster makes me chuckle. Maybe it's those car commercials, lol!
Happy Saturday, Tara! :D
