John: It's been a long time since we've been to the cinemas. We should see a movie sometime.
Kate: I'm free this weekend, just so you know.
John: Perfect. How about we watch that new movie starring Bradley Cooper?
Kate: Oh, let me guess. A movie where a couple of dudes get hungover after partying and can't remember a single thing from the day before? No, thank you. It's the same bloody plot-line all the time.
John: So what do you think?
Kate: No! It'll be boring.
John: This movie is seriously cool beans. It won't be boring, trust me.
Kate: Cool beans? Is that even a thing?
John: Of course. It's a slang which was brought into vogue by the pop culture in the late 60's. It is generally used as an expression of approval or a synonym for cool.
Kate: *long pause* you are so weird.
John: Yeah, but you love me.
Kate: That's irrelevant.
