Many have asked me: What is cool?, Why do you say cool?, And others have told me: "Cool? That sounds rather gay "or" that word or exists, cool? haha. Well, today I will illustrate with a word unknown to some Americans, but very present in the English language.
To explain simply and clearly, the word COOL is a synonym for cool, or a synonym for cool, so, by saying "your shirt is really cool" you are saying "your shirt is really cool" or "is very cool your shirt. " Am I clear?
This article comes not remove a page of history, vocabulary, language and etymology, just like the name of this article (etymology of GUAY). I rescue this item to hang on my blog and make it more clear in my view the concept.
: The word cool has been used in recent spathe. Comes from an Arabic word that sounds "kuaiis." In colloquial English has been introduced since the late 60's of last century and is now starting to die.
This is more or less its history: In principle what was termed nice quality. Use was restricted to small commercial area of \u200b\u200bthe hashish was brought from Morocco. Morocco had always smoked "kif", which are the flowering tops of female foot of the bush of hemp or marijuana. But in the second half of the sixties provided by the Rif mountains of German hippies, who came from the Himalayas and learned there had been manufacturing the product later called "chocolate", based on resin agglomerates of the female flower of the hemp. Then began a trade that profited many "camel" in the beginning, when the thing was poorly monitored.
With hashish were brought few words, one's own product name, "hash", "haxix" Arabic for "hashish" in the beginning meant grass, another is this, the Arabic "kuwayyis" that meant "Good" or "beautiful" and become "guai (s)" took the meaning of "hashish of good quality" versus "jarabaca" meaning "hashish of poor quality" and came from "Kharbaqa", "hellebore "" very bad thing "with a cross by popular etymology with" cow poop. " The lexicon was expanded from Seville, where the pronunciation of the Andalusians was "guai (s)" devoid of la-s final to Madrid and northern Spain in the form of cool. Jaravaca has been confined to the lexicon of the joint, such as cost, which is the name Food in Andalucia that workers take to the block, but it is used metaphorically to call brought the hashish crossing the Strait, but cool in the 80 spread all over, exceeding its original scope and became a word associated with youth. The "cool" was the "cool", which was cool, I get to be a youth magazine published in Barcelona which was called "cool."
the end it was a word used to children. But it has begun to disappear as quickly as it appeared. This is what happens with the lexicon of jargon. Young people are cornered, is no longer carried. Have led to the "handsome" pear now says no car tuning (tuning) is "a nice car, but a car" cute. " Survives only in child language, for example, in an advertisement for a complex of Castellón you hear on the radio, a shrill squeaky voice he wants to be the voice of a child says "Mariana d'Or, how nice ... !
Now if? You see, apart from the wave of hashish and all that stuff junkie, the word cool has a lot of history and a step of great culture. Now if we think, not bad start adopting new words into our vocabulary, by contrast, is very cool idea. It is a very Spug That.
Until next time ...
