My mom once told me that, in her youth, you could ask whether smoking weed was okay in an environment by saying “is it cooool?” stretching out the word and making a sort of fish swimming motion with your hand.
I don’t know whether that’s true, nor - if so - how widespread it was. Probably it’s not still accurate in any case.
To give you another data point: It’s what teens and young adults would do in the small ass town in Nebraska I grew up in (80s-90s). Not sure if it’s still a thing as I’m never going back.
Well, thank you for the information! I believe she was talking about the 70s-ish, but I don’t really know. No idea where, but almost certainly not Nebraska.

Was your mom a teenager in the 80s?
