Flamengo

The beach front area is dominated by a park (the Parque do Flamengo) built on nearly 300 acres (1.2 km²) of land reclaimed from the bay and completed in 1960. Use of the term in this manner has its origin in African-American slang, in which, among other things, it can mean "excellent", "intriguing", or "superlative," having first been recorded in written English in the early 1930s. It is located between the Centro and Botafogo districts on the edge of Guanabara Bay. The usage of cool as a general positive epithet or interjection has been part of English slang since World War II, and has been incorporated into other languages, such as French and German. Flamengo is the name of a neighborhood (bairro) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Cool has its roots in Middle English "cole", from Old English "col" and indicates aloofness, composure and absence of excitement in a person, especially in times of stress. For the sportive association and soccer team see Clube de Regatas do Flamengo. COOL – Concurrent Object-Oriented Language.
