cushdy

(kushti)

adj

British

fine, wonderful. An all-purpose term of approbation or agreement. This work-ing-class term (recently brought to a wider audience by the television com-edy Only Fools and Horses) is related to 'cushy', the colloquial term for easy or comfortable. Both words derive ulti-mately from an archaic Persian word khosh, meaning 'pleasant', either via the Hindustani khush, or the Romany kushto, or both.
