I'm Good Thanks !

[Henrytom]

No you're not ! You are "O.K.", "Fair to middling", "Not too bad, thanks for asking" etc. Only your parents, God bless 'em all can tell you you're good. The bloody state of the English language OR the state of the bloody English language
OR ..... shoot me now !!!!!!

[WyeDyed]

]i] BANG [i] !

[Stephen_G]

Gladly...

[grasscarp]

And there was I thinking I was alone in hating it. I also get fed up on radio phone in's when people ask the presenter "how are you". Complete waste of time.

[Henrytom]

I deserve to be shot but thanks for the answers - I love that video ! OR is it a DVD OR shoot me again .............

[WyeDyed]

Technically it's a video file (MP4 or WMV probably)
;0)

[frugalfred]

"How are you?"
"Not three bad, which is better than not too bad."

[factor-fiction]

The young factors tend to say it- i think it's quite common now. I suppose if we can say "I'm not too bad" or "I'm not too good" maybe we can't really object to "I'm good"..

The expression I can't bring myself to use is "My bad" when I make a mistake

[Hopkirk]

"How do you do"

What sort of a question is that?

[Henrytom]

How can one judge oneself as "good" !

[joggerjayne]

I say it, I'm afraid.

sorry

:0/

[naomi24]

'I'm good' - meaning I'm in good health or I'm happy. That I understand - but 'my bad' - what the hell is that? 'Your' bad what?

[Henrytom]

To say "I'm good" does not imply you are in good health ! You would say "I'm fine" or "O.K., thank you for asking" - "I'm good" implies you are better than all those who may not be quite so good !

[naomi24]

Henrytom, I disagree. If someone asks 'How are you?', I'm likely to say 'I'm good, thanks'.

[Maydup]

Yeh, I say it too. Quite often abbreviated to "good, thank you, you?"

[Henrytom]

I guess I have to accept that you are all good ! I'm not sure that I am completely good. I would like to think that I am slightly good but who am I to judge ? I guess "the good" are the judges ! Love you all ! xx

[boxtops]

Naomi, if you hadn't raised "my bad", I would have - drives me potty. It was even a crossword answer on here earlier.... :-(

[Hopkirk]

How do you do?

How do you do what?

[Maydup]

What is the appropriate response to - How do you do?

Not that I've heard it said for a very long time, but just in case I bump into a minor royal I'd like to get it right.

[BlueToffee]

I'm afraid I do too JJ!

[emmie]

another one, at this moment in time,

that does not make sense to me..
