    COOL
    The best way to say something is awesome or swell. The phrase "cool" is very relaxed, never goes out of style, and people will never laugh at you for using it, very convenient for people like me who don't care about what's "in. Laid back, relaxed, not freaked out, knows what's goin on. Has come to mean anything popular. An adjective referring to something that is very good, stylish, or otherwise positive. It is among the most common slang terms used in today's world. When someone is "cool" they are popular, suave, and you like them. Socially acceptable by modern culture; "neat.

    HIP
    Cooler than cool, the pinnacle of what is "it". Beyond all trends and conventional coolness. The state of being in-the-know, including, but not limited to, being stylish or fashionable. Informed, up to date, fashionable, contemporary, relevant. Being modern in dress, attitude and interests. From "hepi," meaning "well-informed" from the West African language of Wolof. The word was introduced to America by slaves imported from West Africa, and was still in use in 1930's era black speech. Hip probably entered the mainstream American lexicon by way of the Beatnik subculture, who believed in racial integration, listened to black music and used words borrowed from black speech.
