I'll never be cool again

Henry came up to me the other day crying. When I asked why, he sobbed, "Audrey called me "cool!"" Huh? Since when is that bad?

So I call Audrey and ask her about it. She indeed admitted that she called her brother "cool". Wha'? "So why is he upset, then?", I demand confounded.

Elliott pipes up, "Because at school, "cool" means: constipated, over-rated, out-of-style, loser."

Aw, MAN. When did this start?

So I make Audrey apologise for calling her brother cool and promise never to do it again. Disaster averted. I guess. How am I supposed to keep track of all these new insults? This is so not cool.
