Cool beans is a curious phrase that uses nonsense to bring humor into a joyful exclamation. It originated in American pop culture during the late 1960s. Slang of this time is known to center around illogical phrasings of words, and cool beans is among the most durable lengthy late 60's era terms. It is used when referring to something with a positive connotation, for example, That party was cool beans..
The coffee plants were first cultivated in Yemen (previously Arabia Felix) and it was first drunk extensively by the Muslim dervishes in Arden and Turkey was the first country to roast the green coffee beans. So is it any wonder then, that the origin of the word coffee would have its roots in the Arabic language.
