Lovely meaning "ok" "good" "great" in the UK Hi, I've just come back from a business trip to the uk. Besides London, I've also been in a little town in west Sussex, Arundel. I was surprised to hear, more than twice from two different people (a young waiter in a bar and from another young woman at the hotel desk) the word "lovely" in these contexts below: 1) ordering something to eat, she asked me and other people to confirm, we did and she said "lovely". At the hotel desk, I greeted and said "I have a reservation", and the woman answered "lovely". Now, it's the first time I heard "lovely" used in very simple situations like this, I heard loads on times on films people saying "lovely" as an exclamation of something really nice, but in average chat, when there's nothing exceptional, I always hear people saying just "brilliant", "good" "great" and so on, more like a means of confirming something. So, this use "of "lovely"as shown above, is it common? is maybe something more of a specific trait of some dialect? cheers
