Granny told me that 'nice' was the worst word she knew:

all the way from up the Blackness road in Dundee.  8)

Mrs Nichols was my English teacher.. She was rounded in body..Her hair was greying and piled high into a top knot . Few teachers used hair colour.. She was a lady that dressed in tweed.. skirt and jacket.. She would look at us over the top of the glasses that rested on the tip of her nose..
 ‘One must try to use descriptive words other than ‘nice’ ..The word is rather dull.’


That's precisely why it's such a valuable adjective. It indicates dull by it's very use. If I ask somebody what they think of a song and they say " Very nice." I know they thought it uninteresting. I shall continue to use it where appropriate. Bloody pedants.

Exactly.. I never said not to use it .. I said it was the lowest form of a compliment..
and you have agreed with me..

I still reckon 'its OK' is the lowest form of compliment. Agree 'nice' doesn't convey sterling appreciation, though - how about 'absolutely fabulous'?

 'Absolutely fabulous' !! No.. not for me.. ' Bloody marvelous' is the best I can give..
