The slang term "cool" - 80 years and still going strong!
Is it one of the most enduring of these kinds of popular slangs?
The most enduring ones are probably considered formal English now.
โOkayโ
I think so - can't think of a longer-lived one off the top of my head, not counting words that used to be considered slang but became official words. "Cool" has always been too cool to not be considered slang!
