Isn&#x27;t part of the problem that words such as average, mediocre and adequate is mostly used to refer to bad things?<p>My favourite joke from Community is in an episode where they are shooting a commercial for the University and how this gets completely out of hand.<p>In the end, when the review commite sees the final result one guy says &quot;It&#x27;s good&quot; and the other chimes in &quot;It&#x27;s better than good, it&#x27;s <i>good enough</i>&quot;<p>This is funny because &quot;Good enough&quot; is usually not considered to be good.
