I suppose you are correct.   Going forward, if any one asks me how I'm doing, I shall reply "I am holding a steady three ticks to the right of good on the Mood Continuum".

Mood Continuum.  That's funny.

No, then you would say 'could be better'. Good implies that, on the mood continuum, the little tick mark representing Darling Nikki would be to the right of 'good'. See what I'm saying?

Well, "good" implies you can always be "better" - doesn't it?

You shouldn't tell lies like that. You might erode your credibility.
