Hello from France

Hello everyone,
Though I’m not new in the Wicked Edge “users band”, I’m new ot this forum. I live in France (one hour and a half from Paris, north east). I’m a knife enthusiast and the official French Distributor of the Wicked Edge sharpening systems. I’ve sharpened hundreds (really) of knives with the Wicked Edge and still, I’m amazed at how this sharpener can perform.
As a distributor, I’m very lucky to share experiences with customers, enthusiast Wicked Edge Users. I love that.
I’m very happy to be here in this forum now and again, share experiences and learn from worldwide users!
Benoit

Continually improving my English… :cheer: . I found the meaning in an online slang dictionary. But does have anyone an idea of the origins of this expression? And why are there so many Kewl Beans cafes?

This may explain it.

I don’t know, but I would guess it would be a reference to coffee beans somehow?

15

Thanks guys! It all suddenly makes sense.

kewl beans is just a slang expression i use often…can mean good, cool, ok, i like it, etc.

i ofter use slang like: solid hot goose - klondike…same meaning as kewl beans.

if i really like something i use: fueling the lear…you should understand that ok.

Thanks, Max.

Solid hot goose? Fuelling the lear? Have you got links for me? While google pointed me in the right direction for kewl beans, it doesn’t seem to know these expressions.

Mark I grew up here in the States and I don’t know them? I think it is what makes Tuffy the fun guy he is?
Tuffy you just crack me up!! :woohoo: :silly:

I’m stateside for many, many years and have never heard of Tuffy’s expressions. Likely regional and or military in origin.
