1. Cool, hip, trendy. Corruption of "Of the hook", which meant that something was cool because you'd have to immediately take your phone "of the hook" to tell all your friends about it. Basically, this original thread of meaning has been completely lost with the introduction of the "eezy" (common to a lot of slang at the moment).

1. A place where a logical, meaningful, and beautiful natural philosophy is most likely completely mangled by one who couldn't really understand it and therefore got a job teaching. This person, in my personal experience, probably also lacks a sense of humor, common sense, and, quite possibly, a soul.
