3. "Is this a play on "fair to middling?"" In response to Reply # 0
Because I've never heard "fair to meddling" in real life and can't think of a context in which it makes sense unless it is like "waiting on baby's breath"
And if it is fair to middling, no it is not a Black phrase

A lot of you players ain't okay.
We would have been better off with an okaycivics board instead of an okayactivist board

what does it mean?
**************** TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

To indicate the person is doing so-so, average, alright? My (black) Brooklyn born and raised stepmother uses it all the time, but I think she got it from moving to Atlanta.

Who was a coworker of mine on the reservation.
He would always use it when people asked how he was doing. In fact, he used it so often that if you asked a mutual friend or one of his relatives how he was doing, that was their response.

I lived in the gaslamp quarter for a year and loved every minute of it. I visted about two years ago with my lady and it was her first time. Now we're talking about going back again permanently.
Even though, after out last visit, homelessness has gotten shockingly worse out there.
