What is the definition of Well $? 🙋 🔍
"Well $" is a bit of a double entendre, basically a way to say 'good' but with a hint of irony or sarcasm. It's like when you're trying to tell someone you're actually saying 'not bad at all' but in a tone that screams 'I'm trying my best, but I'm not even sure if it's good.'
Here's a darkly comedic example: "Well, the new security system failed. Well, since it was supposed to be state-of-the-art, I guess we'll just have to rely on my gut – or lack thereof – to keep the burglars at bay."
