Cool

African-Americans invented cool as a stylistic defiance against racism during World War II. This is simply well-documented social, historical, and linguistic fact. To be cool in the 1940s referred to the ability to be relaxed in one's own style in any environment, an act of courage and mental strength for any Black person during the Jim Crow era. Whether meaning high praise ("Cool!"), vetting someone to others ("she's cool"), or referring to a relaxed state of mind ("I'm cool, man") -- our modern usages all began in jazz culture.

Obed Is Cool

'Obed' stands for 'Oh no! Our table, It's broken' and 'Is' is an english word 'Is' NAH I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS!

THEREFORE, 'IT MEANS OH NO! OUR TABLE, IT'S BROKEN.'
FOR EXAMPLE:- 'OBED IS COOL BUT A KID CRIES.' AND 'THIS KID IS CRYING BECAUSE OBED IS COOL.'
