Hee, hee, it's what we over here in the 60s used to refer to as Franglais - a mixture of French and phonetic English. In this case

tres = French  for "very"

kewl = phonetic of "cool"

Very Cool

Now I bet you wished you never asked...

Funny thing, as a french guy I was confused with it too. I thought that "tres kewl" was one of these slang words used in those english forums, and that I never understand  !
