OK, I have to admit it, sometimes I'm a dork. Sometimes (just sometimes, mind you!) I say "neat" when I mean "cool" or "groovy" or whatever. So let's hear it. Do you?

I use the word "neat" some of the time to mean "cool" but usually to mean "my room is clean".

I occasionally use the word "neat" but only when describing something cool to a child.

I wouldn't be caught dead saying "neat". Do I look like a dork?

I don't understand the word "neat" because I'm a total slob.

    Yes, when it comes to bourbon!

    But, for the options in the poll, it would be the some of the time

    Ha! I do the same for scotch.

    Otherwise, I never say it in an exclamatory fashion.

    Grammar and spelling- a life long challenge for this Dork! It's the main reason I'm on revision 7 of my book. Egads! (Did I spell that correctly?)

    Yes, Pocier, neato too!

    Tree, I didn't pick up on "sweet" until the nephews came along- now I use it often. Sweet!

    "Rad" never quite stuck, though I like it when millennials use it.

    "Awesome", unfortunately did stick. Would prefer it used ONLY for things truly awesome.

    "Bad" meaning "good" never quite works for me unless the person saying it is truly badass.

    "Gnarly"- one of my all time favorites!

    Still haven't caught on to "sick". At my age, saying "The newest Dinosaur Jr album is sick!" would be embarrassing!

    Others gone but not forgotten: "cherry", and "boss".

    Other terms?

    I use "neat" about as much as I say "good for you". I will use "good for you" but it always sounds snarky in my mind even though I really do mean good for you in a nice way and not a jerk sorta way.

    I like hearing "good for you". It can be said sarcastically, but the tone of voice makes it obvious. On an on-line forum, there is no tone of voice so I can see where it might be misconstrued, but not likely if taken in context. It might be nice if we encouraged each other with more, good-for-you's!
