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

I hear copacetic on a fairly regular basis around here. Not like every day, but enough so I'd say it's not unusual.whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:Mowing the yard this afternoon I found myself singing West L.A.

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

Re: Words that need to be used far more often
