Excellent, great, splendid, awesome, good, nice, ok, normal, so-so, alright, poor, bad, unbelievable, disaster, horrible, awful... Ever wonder running out of words to describe a state between good and bad? Most of the time we are dealing with things that are just "okay." So, how can we signify an okay toward the good side and okay toward the bad side?
Here I present you an alternative way to express your opinion in this type of situation:
When you mean to express "It's alright" leaning to the bad side, you would say "It's a'ight" but the tone should be descending. Say, start with a higher pitch and then end on a lower pitch. Remember, this shall be associated with a hand gesture. Put your hand on a level position with your fingers spread out at a relax state. Then, slightly swivel you hand up and down like playing a piano.
When you mean to express "It's alright" leaning to the good side, you would say "It's a'ight" with your tone ascending. You ought to nod your head slightly as you say it. However, DO NOT EXAGGERATE YOUR MOTION; otherwise, you would look like a bobble head!
So, you have it here, folks. Remember this instruction and use it next time when you are in the situation.
