    Copasetic

    Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

    Copasetic , also spelled copacetic , copesetic or - less commonly - kopasetic, means very satisfactory or acceptable. It is an unusual English language word in that it is one of the few words of seemingly unknown origin that is not considered slang in contemporary usage. It is used almost exclusively in North America, and is said to have been first widely publicized in communications between the astronauts and Mission Control of the Apollo Program in the 1960s.

    I'm striving for a copasetic life!
