Is it acceptable

[Hoser]

Ok this is kind of a stupid poll, but I got shit for this the other day.

I used the word copasetic in a sentence. I used it properly and everyone knew what I meant. Later on that day my friend started ragging on me and giving me shit for it. Though it wasn't acceptable and felt it was too "slangish". We were in an International Business lecture.

I see no problem in using the word or other words like it if you are in a situation where everyone knows what you are saying, ie. don't use it in a grade school or around taters.

stupid people always act that way towards unknown words

I hate it when ignorant fuckers hear a big word and automatically discourage it's use simply because they've been left in the dust intellectually.

Meh, I'll give you that one. Dictionary.com says it can be spelled both ways.
I've always seen it spelled with a c

It only works when the rest of your vocabulary is similar. If you randomly throw out the word and never use any words like it then you sound sort of arrogant and douchish.

It is defiantly part of my school/work vocabulary. When at home hanging out with friends (depending on the friends I am with) not so much. All depends where I am, I can dumb it down or smarten up for my surroundings.

Really? You know people that are flabbergasted by "copasetic"?

But seriously, copasetic is kind of a douchey word and it's not even a big word that will make you popular. I only hear it from hipster douches and from people mocking hipster douches. I would have made fun of you too. Why not just say "cool"? I'm pretty sure that word is still copasetic.

i wouldn't say to a friend that i can't meet for drinks because i'm impecunious, but i use words like this all the time

My prof is not the kind of guy who likes words like cool. He is a bit uptight, and favors people with extensive vocabularies. Like I said, I adapt to my surroundings. I wouldn't be using it when out with a bunch of drinking buddies getting sloshed. But if the person who you are talking to uses vocabulary like that there is no problem in humoring them.

The douches at the people who get upset with people using words that have a meaning and are acceptable in the current situation. Also people who live and breath stimgas.

You are also just mad that your tiny wiener is in 2nd place.

You keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it
You know its so pathetic
And you don't...♫

[BIG PIZZLE]

Yeah, there are other big words you could have used. That word is douchey and I bet your prof thinks your a douche now too. I have found that the more comfortable you are with youself the easier you can pull off saying shit like "cool" or "no doubt", etc. in even the most formal settings.

Well aight check this out dawg, first of all, you throwin' too many big words at me, and because I don't understand 'em I'm gonna take 'em as disrespect. Watch ya mouth and help me with the sale.

All depends on the people you are with. Most people a cool, would most likely fly. But if they are pretentious and in a formal setting and in a position of power, then you should probably go by their rules, or at least their liking. There is no lack of confidence, and infact the fact that you can use a word like it with a person of higher knowledge also shows confidence. Trust me I lack no confidence, and that was not the reason behind using it.

For fucks sake, you can't even use getto speak correctly....yo.

[WET HOT MESS]

You have lousy friends.

[Aegis]

As to the topic.

Copasetic went out with the 90's so you can stop using it now.

[Hoser]

I still use Bee's knees and chowderhead, so I think I will keep using these.

correct answer is: your friend is a retard. The fact that you use the word "copasetic" is awesome. That's a bad ass word.
