fine and dandy
All going well
Fine and dandy means satisfactory or in good order, often used to express that everything is going well.
The phrase can be straightforward—Everything's fine and dandy with the new arrangement—but it frequently carries a sarcastic or ironic edge, suggesting that things are decidedly not okay: Oh sure, you forgot my birthday, but that's just fine and dandy.
The doubling of positive words intensifies the meaning in either direction.
