<p>高冷 is abbreviated from 高贵冷艳</p>

<p>高 means 高贵, which means "noble"</p>

<p>冷 means 冷艳, which means "beautiful and not easy to get close"</p>

<p>高冷 is usually used in conversation with friends as a joke. Usually not a bad word.</p>

<p>It's an internet slang, so you can't find it on a normal dictionary.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>高 refers to 高高在上,高傲, which mean &quot;to be arrogant&quot;, &quot;to have an attitude of looking down upon someone&quot;</p>
<p>冷 refers to 冷漠,冷冰冰, which mean &quot;to be indifferent&quot;, &quot;unconcern&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>so 高冷 basically means a cold attitude.</p>
