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.
