Hello all, I'm new to the forum so i'm not sure if you can help me. Throughout my life (I'm 19) I've heard the word "decent" being used the same way as "not bad", and while it wasn't negative per se, it was never a compliment. Recently, however, i've been seeing the word being used (in what I believe is a form of slang) interchangeably with "good" and "nice". For example, I am a hip-hop producer. Just recently, uploaded one of my beats online, and I received a comment from someone saying "Damn, those drums are decentttt". I was confused, because it sounded like he was praising them, but he was using the word decent. All I want know: Is the word decent used differently in slang? Or is this nonsense?
