"Great!" That is what the word means and found the following in the Urban Dictionary:
Not beatnik, not hippy, not swahili, but early sixties, California surfer. A corrupted version of the Hawaiian "kupaianaha," which means "fantastic," and any other synonym of "wonderful" you care to choose. The word probably entered greater American consciousness through the surfer moves of the period.
For what it's worth the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles spoke "surfer" with a little "valley" thrown in. "Nice ride, dude. Kowabunga!" So why all this build up of one word? Well, the weekend kicked off with a lovely meal and then yesterday kicked off with some morning fun and watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which I had never seen before and do not need to see again. It was a foggy cold day and so we pretty much stayed in and after a brunch of sausage egg scramble with a bagel for Damon it was lounging around the apartment being lazy. That included watching both Batman and Batman Returns back to back followed by a wonderful nap. Damon went to a party for the evening and I decided to enjoy some of the tuna that had just arrived a couple of weeks ago. How I love that tuna. Could not think of buying it in the store anymore, knowing this is fresh out of the ocean and packed on the dock down in southern Washington.
