A phrase popularized in the 1980s by U.S. teenage females who were viewers of the American sitcom "Full
House." For some
yet unknown reason, these persons found the show entertaining and desired to emulate actress Candance Cameron whose character repeated the phrase incessantly on the show.
The phrase then
spread like a virus, infecting the vernacular of people of older and younger generations regardless of
gender...these people were born without the ability to discern that this phrase was, to put it in the parlance of our current times, "f**king stupid."
Is used to express approval or liking.
Person A: "Hey, its TGIF on
ABC tonight! Wanna watch 'Full
House?'"
Person B: "Cool
beans!"
