Cool beans is a curious phrase that uses nonsense to bring humor into a joyful exclamation.
It originated in American pop culture during the late 1960s. Slang of this
time is known to center around illogical phrasings of words, and "cool beans"
is among the most durable lengthy late 60's era terms. It is used when
referring to something with a positive connotation, for example,
"That party was cool beans." Much like other hip slang words "cool beans" has faded with times, but acan be heard occasionally by those who've ttempted to bring it back. It gained slight currency on the Tarew Marr server of EverQuest, in the early to mid 2000's.
