in person it can mean the same, however can take on different forms in different situations.

The word "cool" used when you don't know what else to say, or when you are not that interested in the conversation. Sometimes, it can be used when you do not have any knowledge of the subject, yet you want to act as if you know-it-all.

I use it to say: I understand what you mean. I got it. I agree. That is nice work. It is an exclamation of agreeance and positivity. I need to use other words meself.

"Cool was when you understated your feelings. You had a lot of feeling but you just didn't state it...and nobody stated theirs. Thus you built up this tension of all the unstated. It wasn't anger, but a web of interplay; things that you would say full out now, would then be stated in a small gesture-a little phrase or act would say the whole thing.
Why did Cool come about? I don't know--I guess it was the fashion. It was maybe a reaction to the oversentimentality of our parents' generation--the soap operas, Frank Sinatra...So the jazz was cool, we were cool, everybody was cool, and if you were cool that meant that you gave everybody more space, sort of."

mine was brutal back in those days... never hung out with the office people, and when I saw friends I bitched about the office.
10 years, I would have been dead.
