I am not a fan of these words, but you just made a point against your argument, Ohmar.

What does cool mean? It means cold. At some point in the past (early 50's) it entered the English vocabulary as slang and became so widely used that eventually it was added to the dictionary.

Many of these words likely will share the same fate, especially the word "Phat".
