Leland -

Speaking of "cool", my geek friends and I have over time taken the word and
changed it over to "Kelvin!"  The history is we started to say "coo-l",
then "coolage" then "calvin" (as in Calvin Coolidge), then to "Kelvin"
(absolute 0).  I know, we're weird.  So, that would make it "Fabe
Kelvinare, home boy!"

Pam,
Actually the Latin is pretty Kool itself.  It would be:
"Fabe refrigerare, homi."
Best,
Leland
