You mean copacetic. A term endeared to the beat generation.

But pushing back further in time, "23-skiddo", "Solid, Jackson solid!", and "hep-cat" are good.

Also, "cat's meow".

Even more way back in the way back machine, "little shaver".

nth vote for 'wicked' - still de rigeur around here. Also, 'finest kind'. Would like to see more 'right on' and 'solid, Jackson' as well (on a Shaft kick, apparently).

"Bread" for money. Saw that used in the Big Chill that my wife and I were watching last night. We're introducing each other to goofy old movies that the other has never seen.

So bad it's good!
