These're two meanings i found in the dic which may help you understand when someone is said to be cool. fashionable and attractive at the time; often skilled or socially adept; "he's a cool dude"; "that's cool"; "Mary's dress is really cool"; "it's not cool to arrive at a party too early" ps: just in addition, when someone did fantastic things or things which are incredible, they could also be considered as 'cool'.
