Is it one of the most enduring of these kinds of popular slangs?

The most enduring ones are probably considered formal English now.

I think so - can't think of a longer-lived one off the top of my head, not counting words that used to be considered slag but became official words. "Cool" has always been too cool to not be considered slang!
