fair enough
Acceptable, I suppose
Fair enough is a conversational response indicating acceptance or acknowledgment of a point, even if not enthusiastic agreement.
It signals that an argument or explanation is reasonable enough to accept without further debate: I don't want to drive in this weather. —Fair enough, we'll go tomorrow.
The phrase can also concede that someone has made a valid point: "Fair enough," she said, "I hadn't thought of it that way.
