Meaning
Calm, relaxed, and all right — at ease and free of trouble. To be 'cool' is to be settled and unbothered, and 'everyting cool' means all is well. As reassurance or agreement, 'cool nuh man' or 'it cool' means fine, no problem, don't worry. To 'cool out' is to relax and take it easy, and to tell someone to 'cool' is to tell them to calm down. It runs through everyday talk as the plain word for being fine and easy.
