ducky

Perfectly all right

Ducky means satisfactory or fine, usually with a note of irony or sarcasm: Well, isn't that just ducky.

The word sounds deliberately cute, which is why sincere use is rare—it typically signals the opposite of genuine approval.

As a noun, ducky is a term of endearment, especially British: Hello, ducky.

Also a child's word for a duck or rubber duck toy.
