Another translation of court UK English
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, November 02 2012 @ 04:53 AM EDT
For those wondering about the use of "cool": its meaning is more in
the line of "sleek", "polished", "understated",
referring more to a particular direction of design rather than
"hipsterish" as in colloquial speech.

So while it does have positive connotations, they are by far not as fawnish as
the slang language use of "cool" would make one suspect. Of course,
seeing how Apple sold that statement, it was probably a mistake to make anyway.
After all, it is not the majority of the world which is speaking the Queen's
English.
