"Good"

[maggiebee]

When did the word "good" replace fine or well? Listening to the radio and the presenter asks a guest "How are you?". "I'm good" is the response. I want to say "good at what?" Just doesn't sit well with me and I hear it on an almost daily basis. Saturday grump over!

I usually reply 'breathing and thinking thank you' when asked how I am. not good although I can be very good.

'I'm Ok thank you, how are you,' is my standard reply - even if I'm not Ok (which I rarely am!). How many people would ever answer negatively, I wonder!

[pixie374]

Me too, pat. "I'm good" makes me think "at what?". "My bad" doesn't sound right either. But, I think they are just trends which come and go.

It's very Ozzi. They totally abuse our language ;0)

My pet hate when someone asks how are you is when they say "yes", I'm good or ok or whatever.

[tiggerblue10]

When you hurt yourself and are in pain and maybe in tears and someone asks you if you're ok when clearly you're not.
