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. :-)

Get the Cooler-fete mug.Derivative of "Hoovertown" and "Hoover Blanket". It is a makeshift cooler made of a cardboard box lined with newspaper.
Unlike the other "Hoover" words, this isn't a sign of poverty as much as convenience (when you don't want to take an empty cooler home).

Get the hoover cooler mug.The unwritten redneck law that says if you place your alcohol in another redneck's cooler, said redneck has the right to leave without making the other redneck aware of them leaving. The alcohol placed in his cooler then becomes his own.
Jim Tom: "Hey Bubba, where'd Cletes go? My beer was in his cooler"
Bubba: "Cletes went to his trailer, that's his beer now"
Jim Tom: "How's it his beer?"
Bubba: "That's the redneck cooler law fer ya"
