That's Nice or is it Marvellous, Brilliant, Kind, Comforting, Pretty ....?

I could hear one if there was nothing else nicer

Hear one?

Eat one

I like NICE ,I dont like every other picture on FB being called stunning or amazing even when its mediocre or downright horrible and that includes girls who's makeup get s the "its stunning" from countless friends when she looks as if she's auditioning for a clown movie .
So thanks for the lesson but I'm happy to stick with "nice"

Nothing like a nice cup of tea!
No other word will do!

Nice?

I prefer Garibaldi

Doesn’t annoy me as much as the word stunning

Far more irritating to me is the over use of 'awesome'. MM looked awesome in a shirt-waister, Kate looked awesome in a coat from Mango or a recycled Alexander McQueen dress. One or the other of them was wearing some 'awesome' espadrilles, which promptly sold out, but you'll be pleased to know they're back in stock. That's nice.

Yes, that too Ginny

It's supercalifrailisticexpialidocious
What a lovely word.?

This reminds me of a sketch in Mrs Brown's Boys where the posh neighbour remarks: "You haven't learnt much at finishing school" and Mrs Brown replies: "I used to say Feck off now I say That's nice!"

I remember being told that in English at school. Don' t use "nice" and don' t use "got". But there are way bigger things to be worrying about these days, I suppose. And young people use so many much worse words and phrases now that are becoming accepted parlance. A few of my pet peeves are " soz" for sorry, "my bad" and "can't be arsed".

There is nothing whatsoever that we can do about the evolution of the English language.

As long as people don’t use the word ‘gotten’ I am happy!

Don't have a problem with 'nice' - the word that really sets my teeth on edge is 'amazing' - it's overused for everything these days.

Phloembundle- I know language will naturally evolve, but phrases that make no sense at all just annoy me. Like "can't be arsed" instead of "can't be bothered". What the hell does that mean?

It nice to get through a thread without any dogpiling.

got, lot, and nice - OK in speech but not in the written word - that was drummed into me at primary school. A great way to encourage children to choose other words and build vocabulary.

Lifes too short.

I think nice is a cop out, it’s very vanilla, as in neither here nor there.

I was, like many others here, taught to replace ‘nice’ with a more descriptive adjective but the Americanism of ‘awesome’ makes my toes curl so I’ll stick to a nice cup of tea thank you very much!

I think there is a place for nice in our vocabulary. For me, it describes something or someone pleasant and unchallenging, nothing to write home about, but perfectly acceptable.

It’s very bland, but it doesn’t bother me at all, unlike the ubiquitous use of ‘amazing’ about things that are nothing of the sort.

‘Splendid’ is one you hardly hear any more, though I do know someone of my age who still uses it.

It's better than the "f" word, which is used as a noun, adjective and verb.

was taught, both at Primary and Secondary School , to eschew the use of the word Nice
Granny They would have had to teached me what "eschew" meant first!

At school we were told to keep nice for food.
