Maybe some young members can fill me in with some modern expressions of which I am ignorant. I have six gr. children but they Have their own language ha ha.

Ha ha, that's very amusing. I'm about 20, so I consider myself somewhere in between. "Good", in this case, I think refers to one's circumstances or situation or state or condition, etc.

I'd say some disciplines in the English language are indefinite and relative, but there are certain irrefutable constants throughout, although I'm not quite sure for how long they'll remain irrefutable myself.

Personally, I, too, tend to use these new lingo or slangs on a normal basis, but I try to stick with the formalities when the occasion calls for it. I feel that's what most youths would do, anyway.
