A deep dive into the history and modern usage of the word "good," this video presents a number of situations in which the word "good" can be used to mean something else entirely. The word "good" is used in a ton of English expressions and features in tons of English idioms, but it doesn't always mean that something is positive or acceptable. There's even some debate about the use of the thumbs-up emoji and whether or not that should be used for good or evil purposes. If nothing else, this video will leave you with an appreciation for just how many different ways we apply this tiny little word every day.
