It sounds like the name of a town in Mexico.

There's a pretty decent song with the word copacetic in the lyrics.

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.

Very satisfactory or acceptable; fine.

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.

My Dad used to use that word. It brought back nice memories of him.

Thanks, Red Badger! :-)

Jazz musicians’ term. It’s all good, to quote Daffynition, God rest her soul.
