"Cool" is just a variable, like "hep", cat.
A "hep cat" is a cool dude. It's a slang term from the 1920's. The term "hep cat" originally referred to someone who used heroin and had contracted hepatitis. These people especially in the jazz music scene were considered to be in the know or cool and since the guys were already "cats", they became "hep cats", same as "cool cats". In the 50's and 60's do to the "beat generation and hippy movement" it became "hip cats". So from the jazz era "that's hep" or "he's a hep cat", meaning a cool dude or in the know, to the 50's and 60's," hip cat" or "hip", again meaning a cool dude or in the know and living a liberal life style.
