My boss comes up to me. "Laura, what do people say nowadays when something is cool?"

"Wait, what?" (Which is totally my new favorite phrase.)

"I mean, when I was young, things were 'rad' or 'hip.'"

"Okay..."

"So what's 'cool' now?"

"Well," I said, "obviously not me, because I've always just said something's 'cool.' Observe as I demonstrate the power of blogs by asking all my friends about it."

One of my coworkers has suggested that "money" is the correct adjective. This is based solely upon the title of a young adult novel, and I suspect it's incorrect. (She's so money, what does that even mean?)

I've heard "sweet", "sick", the abovementioned "made of win" (though only on the internet), and various phrases that include the word "wicked" ("wicked good", "wicked awesome"...though that may be a regional thing). My favorite has got to be "sick"--way to totally turn the use of a word inside out.

"Wicked" is an adverb on the east coast. The west coast equivalent is "hella."

In England, though, "wicked" means cool.
