It has nothing at all to do with "biased".
- Markoff 5y agoI've never seen it used as "cool", it's much more commonly used as synonym for "conservative" or "unique going own way despite popular opinion". EDIT: Other poster explained it maybe better as "being yourself and not caring what others think of you".
- simiones 5y ago> "unique going own way despite popular opinion" Well, that's at least one aspect of "being cool", so I still feel they are at least vaguely related.
- jpadkins 5y agomore specific than just cool, it sometimes means the opposite of debased (: to lower in status, esteem, quality, or character. : to reduce the intrinsic value of (a coin) by increasing the base-metal content ) I've read it as high quality, high character, or high value depending on the subject.
