okayest
Barely passing muster
Okayest is the humorous superlative of okay, used self-deprecatingly to claim modest competence: World's Okayest Dad on a coffee mug, world's okayest employee.
The joke lies in treating mediocrity as an achievement worth celebrating.
The form ignores standard grammar—okay doesn't normally take superlative endings—which adds to the comic effect.
