Stay cool

Question

I grasp "stay cool" sounds more informal than "calm down". Is my understanding right?

Vorpar · Accepted Answer

I agree, but it would be more common to say "be cool".

Yes.

Edit. I agree with Vorpar. "Stay cool" is more often a parting wish.

As an aside, "I grasp 'stay cool' sounds etc." is a bit uncommon.

"I understand [that] 'stay cool' sounds etc." is more natural.

Both mean exactly the same thing, but since "understand" is the common usage, we often omit the "that."

Your use of "grasp" would be easier to swallow if you included the "that."
"I grasp that X sounds etc."

Thanks very much your replies!

I've got one more question for Avangi. What does a parting wish mean?

Stay frosty. (If you may be in danger - eg, military/law enforcement)
