cushty

Comfortable and fine

Cushty is British slang meaning excellent, fine, or satisfactory—expressing that everything is going well.

The word gained wide recognition through the television comedy *Only Fools and Horses*, where the character Del Boy used it frequently: Cushty, lovely jubbly!

It derives from Romani and remains associated with Cockney and working-class speech.

How's the new job? Cushty, mate.
