Reminder: Alternatives for "cool" or "awesome"

I do not like using the words "cool" [or "awesome"], but I do so sometimes out of habit, since it is/was my "default" word.

This is a list of substitutes for those words:

  • nice
  • interesting
  • great
  • plusgood/doubleplusgood
  • neat
  • nifty
  • impressive
  • magnificent
  • [très] magnifique
  • approvable
  • terrific
  • excellent
  • stunning
  • remarkable
  • amazing [~]
  • wonderful [used with a smidgen of satire or sarcasm]
  • anti-warm[?]
  • inmoded [?]
  • [adjective signifying "indication of approval"]
