Slang...


Explanation:
Usato dai giovani americani per dire a una teenage che e' fornita di un bel fondo schiena, "hei! terrific cool!" "hei! straordinario fondoschiena"...Oppure puo' essere inteso come fortuna, "wow...that's cool" tradotto: "wow...questa e' fortuna"

Questo dipende tutto dal contesto, quindi vedi tu qual'è il significato che piu' si addice alla tua frase.

Spero di averti aiutato.
Ciao
P.S. Un salutone a Giovanni Guarnieri, che ci ha ampiamente dimostrato che di inglese nemanja poco.

disagree  Giovanni Guarnieri MITI, MIL: susa, *paenecort* ma a me mi sa che tu ti sei proprio nemanjato il cervello

  -> Giovanni, mi sembri un po' agitato...ti consiglio una canna come calmante! Spero di averti aiutato. Ciao
disagree  Franco Bonalumi: Scusa ma...tu davvero pensi che "cool" significhi "culo"? Guarda che la frase "terrific cool", riferita a un fondoschiena, letteralmente significa "straordinariamente bello" [*sottinteso* il sedere].
