A few days ago,
Frank wrote about Elmore Leonard being the coolest guy Frank knew.
What is the
equivalent word for a "[something like cool"] female?
"Cool"
may capture some aspect of guy-ness perfectly, but I can't quite think of a
distaff analogue
It seems to me that the Doors song "Twentieth Century Fox" includes the lines "She's the queen of cool/She's the lady who waits/Since her mind left school/She never hesitates."
ReplyDeleteI do hesitate to offer what must be a fifty-year-old song as authoritative on usage, but there you are.
