"but good"

Myrmidon · 2013-03-29 21:50:35

This phrase makes no grammatical sense, and annoys me.

Myrmidon · 2013-03-29 21:52:05

As in "He knocked you out but good" if it wasn't clear.

I don't see the purpose of this thread, but good, whatever.

Noimporta · 2013-03-29 22:29:58

I didn't know this was a thing in English. At first, I thought the thread would be about people saying that something is "Just like X, but good".

Nyktos · 2013-03-29 22:31:12

Yeah this is a weird thing. Not much else to say.

MillerCross · 2013-03-29 22:33:07

fun fact: much of english doesn't really make grammatical english

Butt good. No badmouth butt.

Octo · 2013-03-30 08:24:50

^^That may be has his intention.

...but good.

Ponicalica · 2013-03-31 00:10:17

It's "He knocked you out but well".

TheConductor · 2013-03-31 09:32:00

I have never in my entire life heard anyone say "but good" in that context.

Nyktos · 2013-03-31 11:32:37

Never did Cidhna Mine quest in Skyrim?

Fuschlatz · 2013-04-01 04:10:52

I did that quest, but I don't remember hearing "but good" at any point; then again, l've only ever done the quest three times.

Nyktos · 2013-04-01 04:18:56

"Those guards sold you out but good" is like the first line of the quest.

glennmagusharvey · 2013-04-01 04:41:50

...I've honestly never heard "but good" used this way either.

No, I haven't played Skyrim.

he/she finds sexual experience involving the butt good.

ClockworkUniverse · 2013-04-01 17:48:40

I've mostly seen it in print. I think it's something people don't say out loud much because it sounds really dumb.

Nyktos · 2013-04-01 17:53:43

I think Skyrim is the only time I've heard it out loud.
