We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words, such as “new” or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used.

On the student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
