"Fine," the word not the adjective has been neutered in the American dialect to be a nonword...a cop-out...a synonym of "I'd like to say O.K., but I'm not that cutting edge."
Well, I'm taking fine back. Fine used to mean something....
"We had a fine time."
"My, what a fine lass!"
"My, what a fine ass!"
"Well, Ollie...this is another fine mess you've gotten us into."
Fine will no longer be a word your spigot-nosed children will use when asked their disposition by a grandparent rapping on death's door. I will, with or without your help, bring fine back to the ramparts of glory from whence it has tragically fallen.
By next Wednesday at the latest.
