More idiots via PlasticBag

| January 2nd, 2007

I knew I shouldn’t have bothered, but there we are. I took a link from a posting on Tom Coates’s Plastic Bag weblog to an item on Lifehacker about iTunes. And what did I find in the first comment? The word copacetic.

I had to look it up. It means, ‘Ok’, or ’satisfactory’, apparently. Dictionary.com says the origin’s unknown, worldwidewords says it’s i rare to the point of invisibility outside North America, most of the results for the word on Google’s first page are links to dictionary definitions of the word rather than examples of use.

Why bother?
