Hold back. We are still awaiting confirmation that what I have said is correct.

No, I have confirmation. TV programmes, books, the lot

A classic example from tiernan from back in 2006

(don’t worry, no dodgy ghosts from DIS past here)

This is an astute observation communicated very well.

Here is the pinkster at it but he is actually referring to a specific good time

Thank you. I hope you have a wonderful birthday evening.

I suspect we have identified the earliest and latest known uses of ‘good times’

Thank you for saying that

Quite a fun saying if said at inappropriate moments

Pretty Sure Chic coined it.

Was JLC in Chic?

  • I began singing the Chic song when I saw the thread title
  • I did not

We used to say it ironically as kids when reminiscing about ok times and kind of boring people but we’d say “good times, good people”. Early 00s were still ironic times I think.

2003-2005 was the zenith of collins, right? the good times?

Could you provide an example of this please?

I’d like to clarify that I know the song and not the words, so what I actually sang to myself was “Der Der Der Good Times”.

I sometimes say good times, but in an ironic way, when the times being had that I recall were actually, not that good a time. Thanks

Pretty sure the lyrics are ‘these are not good times’
