Settle a Bet for Me

DPD, but fine, when used 90% of the time in daily conversation, means "good but ordinary." I had a fine day= my day was good, but nothing of note occurred. Mediocre is definitely like "meets bare minimum standards but is in no way good."

used in a sentence: "Mark DeRosa is a fine second baseman" whereas "Jason Marquis is a mediocre 5th starter"

I feel like you came up with this example specifically to enrage Huey as much as possible.

So, bravo.

That lineup is not so fine.

Mark DeRosa was a fine second baseman.  He was also an annoying cockgoblin who shat the tub in big moments in successive postseasons but I've no truck with the notion that he was a fine second baseman.

FILL IN THE BLANK:

This is a _____ (fine  mediocre) thread.

When I first saw her
She looked alright,
Second time that I saw her
She looked outta sight.
And I said,
You're lookin' fine,
You're lookin' fine,
You're lookin' fine,
And I feel alright,
Yes, I feel alright.

She got all the angles,
So directly applied.
And when I see her,
I have to cry,
You're lookin' fine,
You're lookin' fine,
You're lookin' fine,
And I feel alright,
Yeah, I feel alright.

You're lookin' fine,
You're lookin' fine,
You're lookin' fine,
And I feel alright,
And I feel alright.


When Ray Davies writes a song that includes the word "mediocre" we can talk about synonyms.

(Yes I know it's not the same context that you're asking about but any chance to quote the Kinks I'm going for it. So screw all of you.)

Wow an outfield of Joyce DeWitt, Colvin, and Montanez? That's definitely sub-fine. How'd they ever win 8?
