Yes, it describes a person that is the opposite of-hot headed. It describes things, too, anything that doesn't temper a cool person. Handling of hot shit requires increased energy conversion resulting in excess heat. When that is seen as a negative, cool generally describes a positive. It's use might be a bit more contrived than that, but this is simple thermodynamics. Temperature is one of the most basic perceptions, certainly it's rooted deep in our understanding of the world. Language is littered with expressions related to temperature, eg. emotional warmth vs a cold heart, because temperature perception is that fundamental. |
