1. What does cold mean?

Mean

Cold is a slang term that describes a person or action that is "mean," or "heartless." It comes from "cold-hearted," which describes people who seemingly have no compassion.

The term is typically used to react to someone who does something that is more than just mean because it seems like it was deliberately done to cause harm. An example of a person being "cold" is when a woman leads a guy on just to publicly humiliate him with a rejection when he asks her out on a date. Cold may be used by people of all ages, from teenagers to adults.

The term may also be used by teenagers as a variation of "cool." This is most often said to describe something that is so cold-hearted that it is awesome, like when a player hits a game-winning shot.

Example

I can't believe you didn't give him a quarter for the parking meter
What, I'm not a charity!
Wow, you're cold
