I still say cool beans.
No, no, that doesn't count. That's a classic bit of slang, not some trendy wave.
It was when the Jumanji cartoon was a thing! I'm just old.
Cool beans comes from the 1960s or earlier.
They brought it back briefly in the 90s, though!
They did and I thought it was new back then but I was wrong.
It's like "bet" in that I thought that was also newer when it came back until I watched Eddie Murphy hosting SNL for the first time and he used it in the monologue.
and radical rice!
Awesome possum.
Is this like the weird "criss cross apple sauce"?
Same. I can't stop. Pls help.
Streets ahead, brah. The Brahm Meister.
That phrase is just objectively cool beans, though
