It sounds like the name of a town in Mexico.

That word went through a period of constant use, it was nice that it faded away.

In the late 80’s, I had a supervisor/manager who used the word “copacetic” all the time-every one of us who worked there hated that ass****-once we found out he had some dirty secrets-a mistress (he was married), a bitchy, violent and jealous wife, a liking for pole dancer clubs, etc-we used that to do so many sneaky, mean things to him that he left after about 7 months, convinced that he was going crazy...
If the world was a perfect place
We would be naturally athletic-
Our healthy food would cook itself
And all life would be copacetic...

“COPACETIC”; When things are in excellent order.
‘60’s expression for same thing: “Neat!”
Another formal term about something common. Usually written, not spoken is:
“MILIEU”: Meaning a person’s social or cultural environment.
To: Red Badger
Very satisfactory or acceptable; fine.

The wood frame didn’t go into its slot, so I had to copesthickit to fit.

I remember hearing it often on late 50s, early 60s TV. I’m thinking Danny Thomas used it often, but it could have been someone else.
To: Lazamataz
That song was my first thought. Whenever I see that word, my brain automatically starts playing:
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic...
To: Red Badger
To: Red Badger
My Dad used to use that word. It brought back nice memories of him.
Thanks, Red Badger! :-)

We used “copacetic” when we were teens.
Haven’t heard it in a very long time. I like the word.
