One I hadn't heard for a while is, none too shabby. There is also the standard, not too bad; never good mind you.![]()

I was surprised when I saw people using precious in a positive way! Someone who's precious is someone who isn't robust of character.Yup, one has to be a bit mindfull. So many words have different meanings from nationality to nationality.
I was a bit shocked when I read, "ooh, they are so precious."
Here precious is not a nice thing to call someone. It is usually reserved for bratty little teenagers and pre teens who are in need of a bit of straight talking.
I think it's rather like Snowflake in the US before the term became politicized.
I remember you saying that and it works with cats so I gave it a go. Mostly I got ignored, but one time someone pecked me on the ankle in a 'hey, pay attention to us!' sort of way!

Has anyone else tried it?
