hunky dory
All going well
Hunky dory means satisfactory or fine—everything is going well.
The phrase is informal and somewhat old-fashioned, often appearing in reassurances: Don't worry, everything's hunky dory.
It can carry a hint of irony when things clearly aren't fine: He acts like it's all hunky dory while the company falls apart.
