Cool beans is a curious phrase that uses nonsense to bring humor into a joyful exclamation. It originated in American pop culture during the late 1960s. Slang of this time is known to center around illogical phrasings of words, and cool beans is among the most durable lengthy late 60's era terms. It is used when referring to something with a positive connotation, for example, That party was cool beans..

Not clear to me if âcool beansâ evolved on its own or if maybe Bush coined it. But I didnât see anything on the Bush Beans website that would suggest that Bush did. According to a Boston College online slang dictionary, the term originated in Boston [famous for its âBoston bake beansâ].
