"Cool beans."
...I'm in my 20's
I first heard that used back in the 90s. I haaaaated it. I cringed from my head down to my soul.
One day I was standing outside my girlfriend’s house. She said, “I’ll get up around 9, you can come here about 9:30 if you want.” I replied (memory is in slow motion), “cooooool beeeeaaaaannnnsssuh”.
I spent the night unable to sleep. “Cool beans? Seriously? Cool fucking beans? She probably thinks you’re the king of fucking dorks. Cool beans? Gaaaaah!”
Next day we were hanging with our friends, she said “cool beans”. I was so fucking relieved.
Damn. The shit kids stress about. I wish my problems were more like that today haha.
Everything seems like the biggest deal when you've been alive for such a short time.
I'm in my mid 30s, and I've been saying it ever since I learned it from an animated series based on the movie Jumanji.
