If only there was a way for people in other countries to see what America looks like and hear how Americans sound and the things they say. Maybe see and hear some American stories or something like that. That would be cool. ("Cool" is American slang for something good)

Not joking, and I did have a little think about it.
It's some kind of euphemism that I've never heard of before. It would appear, from this thread, that I'm not the only one who hasn't heard of it before.
