Mark, that's all very well, but I'd never describe anything as cool. Save as
a comparator on temperatures.

I know that it is used as a term of approval, but presume it has a more
specific meaning than just goodness or approval. And if you are suggesting
that "cool", "smashing" and "brilliant" are synonyms, I'll have to disagree
because I certainly wouldn't accept it in the latter two cases.
