Definition

An intentionally misspelled version of 'cool' that dominated early internet chat rooms and text messages, signaling you were tech-savvy or just really into deliberate typos. It's the linguistic equivalent of wearing sunglasses indoors—trying just a bit too hard.

Example Usage

My AIM away message in 2003 definitely said something was 'totally kewl' and I'm not proud of it.
