A phrase popularized in the 1980s by U.S. teenage females who were viewers of the American sitcom "Full House." For some yet unknown reason, these persons found the show entertaining and desired to emulate actress Candance Cameron whose character repeated the phrase incessantly on the show.

The phrase then spread like a virus, infecting the vernacular of people of older and younger generations regardless of gender...these people were born without the ability to discern that this phrase was, to put it in the parlance of our current times, "fucking stupid."

Is used to express approval or liking.
Person A: "Hey, its TGIF on ABC tonight! Wanna watch 'Full House?'"

Person B: "Cool beans!"

Hee hee hee. :D...:(. "Cool Beans" is an expression meaning something is cool, awesome, or tight (not tight like very small, but cool). It's also what my really really mean science teacher in 6th used to say when everything was ready to roll (another expression meaning everything was done and you could get started). Everyone in the class was just bewildered/wanted to laugh when she said it.
1.) Whoa! Cool Beans!!! I love that idea!!

2.)"Cool Beans!" the science teacher said, "we can now get started. Turn your book to page 124."

*As the students are turning to pg. 124, some mutter among themselves....*

Student A: "Cool Beans? COOL BEANS?!?!? What the heck is that?!!?! It's sooo stupid!!!"
Student B: "Yeah, really! That IS stupid! I can't wait 'til we get outta this class..."

*Both students look at clock... So much time...time...time...*

Student A: "Pfft. Nether can I!"

*Teacher starts lesson.... and the students wait.... and wait.... and wait...*
