An (at the time) original, descriptive term. During the years of Ultima Online's prime, an MMORPG developed by OSI (Origin Systems Inc - though later taken over by EA), there was a player by the name of "the Sickness".
This character caused great distress to many people, so in response, the great Boba Fett/Magneto/Seifer/GM Cool Guy along with Spymaster, Ad Avis, Ice Trey and Mad Monk decided it was about time to fix his little red wagon.
Thus, The Coolness was made in a satiric attempt to poke fun at "The Sickness" and his brother "The Illness".
This was, of course, before "coolness" was even a viable word for internet or real life usage. Years down the road I hear it all of the time. It caught on very quick. While I don't think I can claim origination of the word, I can definitely say I spread it to a large portion of people on Lake Superior. Especially that wonderful, Y-Wing shaped town of Moonglow. :-)

When describing a person it is one who smokes ganja and spins phat jungle sets, a laid back easy goin' motherfucker who just don't give a fuck. When describing a place it is a area in which drugs can be ingested.
When describing a thing someone points out the meaning changes with inflection of the voice, if it is said in a low barely audible tone, it is an acknowledgment to the other person hoping they'll stop trying to impress you with meaningless shit and pack a bowl already; if it is said in a high excited tone it means what they are pointing out is actually worthy of ones attention.
