good form
Socially correct behavior
Good form is conduct that conforms to accepted standards of behavior, etiquette, or technique.
In social contexts, it means proper manners: Sending a thank-you note is good form.
In athletics, it refers to correct technique: Watch your good form on the squat.
The opposite, bad form, suggests a breach of propriety or poor execution.
