FINE. There’s two ways of looking at the word- fine. When I ask colleagues how our work is- and they say good or even worse yet, fine- I ask what we can do to kick it up a notch. I’m not perfect, but I can be a bit fussy. I like quality. So, fine is one of those words that puts a hitch in my giddyup. It causes me pause.
While watching a movie recently, the characters had their own take on it and spelled out the following in relation to the mention of the aforementioned word. Here’s their take on fine:
Freaked OUT
Insecure
Neurotic
Emotional
