cool kid
Schoolyard social leader
A cool kid is someone, usually young, who embodies social desirability—popular, confident, admired by peers.
The phrase often carries ironic distance: I was never one of the cool kids in high school.
It can describe actual popularity or mock the concept: Oh, so you're too cool kid to hang out with us now?
The plural cool kids sometimes refers to an in-group or clique: sitting at the cool kids' table.
