Mowing the yard this afternoon I found myself singing West L.A. Fadeaway and thought that copacetic would be a fine addition to this thread :lol:

I hear copacetic on a fairly regular basis around here. Not like every day, but enough so I'd say it's not unusual.

Ebullient, otoh, is a fine, much underused word.

I used it just last week, to describe an SNL skit that captured some of the wild weirdness of the Firesign Theater.

Great word but I think it might be the worse for wear if it actually were used a lot more. Why don't I think that about the other great suggestions? No idea.
