Marinka, not 9: Sure, I know lots of wonderful people.

Young Ladrinka: Not wonderful, cool. But not cool cool, cool.

Marinka: What is cool cool?

Young Ladrinka: You know, constipated, overweighted, out-of-style loser.

Marinka: What?

Young Ladrinka: Constipated, overweighted, out-of-style loser.

Marinka: What?

Young Ladrinka: Constipated, overweighted, out-of-style loser.

Marinka: What?

Young Ladrinka: Are you going to keep saying what?

Marinka: What?

Ha! I’ve never heard that before. My daughter did say, Mom, do you know what ADIDAS stands for? I held my breath. “All day I dream about soccer.” Phew. That’s not what we used to say.

“cool cool” is “constipated, overweighted, out-of-style loser”? I’m as lost as you were.

I’m sorry that I confused everyone!

Young Ladrinka meant that the letters stood for the C(onstipated) O(verweighted; not overweight, mind you! O(ut of style!) L(oser!)

What could be simpler?

groan.

Does each ‘cool’ = 2 disturbing adjectives? Because if this is the case, I have a neighbor who is cool cool cool cool cool.
