I’ve recently become conscious of how often I say, “Cool.” It’s an all-purpose word for me, meaning “OK,” “thank you,” “good-bye,” “that’s good,” etc.

It seems lazy to me to keep hitting that word. I need alternatives.

Candidates:

  • Ave atque vale.
  • Keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down.
  • Get your hands off me you damn dirty apes.
  • You’re damn skippy.

Other ideas?
