Shinziggle

Feeling an insubordinate amount of swag; Being almost painfully cool. Can be used in place of cool in sentences like "that's pretty cool" or "cool." Shinziggle can also mean romantical, however only on full moons, remember that. Shinziggle can also mean the second or last object in a set of two things like how latter and former are utilized.

In cases where the word cool would have the suffix "ness" added to it, shinziggle will not. So in sentences such as "That was the prime example of economical coolness" or something like that, shinziggle would replace coolness without the suffix.
