Gawd help me, I keep saying "cool beans," in public!

[LaraMN]

:banghead:
I'm going to damn myself to dorkdom before I turn thirty!

[Oeditpus Rex]

1. There may be hope

If they revamp "That '70s Show" as "That '90s Show," you're sure to get a part.




:hide:

[LaraMN]

10. Nooooo!

Can I be the "Donna"?

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. Not if you keep sayin' 'cool beans'

That's totally Jackie. :P




Actually, it's more like Kelso. Or Fez.

[LaraMN]

21. Oh, not Jackie!

:banghead:

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. I disown you.

I *hate* that phrase. x(


Nahh, I'm kidding, I still love you. But I do hate that phrase. :P

[GalleryGod]

7. Tough Shiite, Dude.

Guess what?
Along with "Hot Spit !"

"Cool Beans" was a favorite catch-phrase and rejoinder of
Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis.

[LaraMN]

11. It's my Dad's fault!

For some reason, I keep incorporationg his speechisms into my vocabulary!

[GalleryGod]

3. I'm sorry..but one of my favorite expressions, because-

When I married my Bride 13 years ago, I also inherited three T-Riffic Step Kids. One of their favorite expressions was and STILL is, college graduates ALL :

"Cool beans, Mom! Cool beans ! "

[LaraMN]

Well, I'm glad someone appreciates it!

:rofl:

Your stepkids are lucky to have you in their family; you say nothing but glowing things about them.
:-) :thumbsup:

[Frank Cannon]

33. I like it too; my wife says it all the time

I thought it was just a Texas thing. People look at her like she's from Mars when she says it, but I think it's a cute expression.

[Iris]

37. Sweetest post I've read all day!

[SPKrazy]

5. I spent some time in Mass. and I said "wicked" for months after fact.

I went out and got wicked piss drunk......

[LaraMN]

15. I WANT to say "wicked,"

and I just can't pull it off. I'm too Minnesotan.:P

[TommyO]

29. Anytime somebody says, "wicked"

I immediately know they're from MA, or have at least been there long enough for "wicked" to take root.

[zanne]

30. Wicked applies to anyone within a 100 mile radius of Boston...

I'm in NH and I grew up with it. By the way, it's gonna be wicked hot today.

[bicentennial_baby]

31. i'm wicked excited about it!

it's gonna be pissah! :bounce:

[TommyO]

35. I had a wicked good time with some friends

who live north of Boston when we did all of the amusement parks up there a few years ago.

[AlCzervik]

38. i still say wicked and i live in Ca.

:yourock:

[begin_within]

9. Glad to be of help. What's more, I actually have 2 cases of it.

[JVS]

12. Gnarley!

[LaraMN]

17. That word just summons mental images of twisted, arthritic digits.

:scared:

[kedrys]

13. Try substituting "cool beans" with

"fuckin' A!!!"

I'm just sayin'. :D

[LaraMN]

19. I'll try, but it's not pg enough for the kids.

SEE! KIDS turn their parents INTO dorks (and then whine about how dorky their parents are.):P

[kedrys]

27. "Fargin' A" then

and that would be "darning yourself" to dorkdom. :P

[Left Is Write]

16. Stop it. Stop it right now.

[LaraMN]

20. I can't!

It's Minnesota! Too many people use awful phrases!

[Left Is Write]

22. It infiltrated our borders through Wisconsin. You must push it back over.

[LaraMN]

23. I was IN Wisconsin last weekend!

That's how I got infected!

[stuntcat]

25. lol God help you

you should make "cool beans" your own.. run with it, feel it!

I can't stop saying everything's cool, it feels so dumb when I'm talking with a group of much-older people and "cool" keeps coming out.

[evlbstrd]

26. I was thinking about that expression today.

I've never understood it.
I must be a dork just for thinking about it. I never say it.

[ThomCat]

28. I used to say "cool beans" all the friggin time.

:(

I think I have mostly broken myself of that habit.

[meegbear]

32. I use that all the time when I chat online ...

it's not THAT dorky, is it?

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. Unfortunately, I say "stoked" all the time...even when I don't want to.

My children hate me. :(

[SKKY]

36. I had that same problem not so long ago Lara...

...you know, using expression I hadn't used since the mid 80s. Once I took off the parachute pants, it all stopped. Have you been "reviving" a garment from your youth?
