Are We On The Same Page? All Is Copacetic If We Should Be.
Have you noticed that the phrase, "Are we on the same page?", is being used an awful lot lately. I mean, I understand it... Are we in agreement? Is everything copacetic? (We said that in the 80's). It's a real word meaning, "just fine". So, being on the same page means, "we cool; we always cool". I usually just tell whoever asks me if we are on the page, "Yeah, sure", just to get them to talk about something else.
