peachy keen
Absolutely fine, thanks
Peachy keen means everything is fine, great, or going smoothly—often with a cheerful, almost exaggerated enthusiasm.
The phrase is dated and now typically used ironically or sarcastically: Oh sure, everything's just peachy keen.
It amplifies the already positive peachy with keen in its sense of eager or enthusiastic.
