A fictional place coined by singer/songwriter Rickie Lee Jones in 1979. Coolsville is largely populated with colorful characters both hopeless and hopeful, the disenfranchised, the down-and-out, hipsters, bohemians, junkies, artists, and what not. Coolsville is a place of hard redemption. It can also be used as an adjective and verb.
"The real thing come and the real thing go/The real thing is back in town/Ask me if you want to know the way to Coolsville." - Rickie Lee Jones

An act performed by fantasy football participants wherein two teams conspire to help one team win by pulling shenanigans such as lopsided trades or dropping a great player when the other party has waiver wire priority. It is truly the lowest form of human behavior.
Team 1: Hey, I'll trade you my backup QB for your best wide receiver and when I win the championship, we'll split the money!
Team 2: Okay, collusion sounds good since I'm 3-7 anyway.

Get the Cools mug.Behavior by any individual or entity which conspires, attempts or ultimately serves to coordinate, reinforce or achieve outcomes desired by a separate individual or entity. The term is most often understood relative to scenarios in which the natural outcome would have been different had the collusion not occurred.
For example: When actors from a foreign, enemy nation generate false and derogatory narratives or stories designed to exploit social divisions, sway elections and undermine the political institutions of a second sovereign nation, and a third party actor then espouses and advances those false narratives or stories, the later party is guilty of acting in collusion with the former in advancement of their goals.
Expanding on the above example, the obligation to avoid engaging in such collusion increases relative to the position of authority held by the offending party - as does the risk of such collusion constituting a criminal act. This is the case in part because of oaths those officials take to uphold the sanctity of public trust, but also because they are often uniquely privy to the very evidence which debunks the narratives, identifies their origin and indicates their nefarious intent. Perpetuating such false and derogatory narratives or stories in disregard of such evidence therefore renders the collusion "willful."

"The arrogant and corrupt politician was so deluded by his misplaced sense of entitlement and intellectual superiority, he failed to recognize that publicly questioning the veracity and impartiality of his own intelligence agencies not only constituted obstruction of justice, but was in itself a clear, demonstrable and self-evident act of collusion."
