Good One

In the Shire it is said that if a hobbit, or a boggit, or a dangit says Purple Apothecary Apple or Purple Apothecary Applesauce that it means something is up, afoot, afeet, or it could be a simple statement that means nothing in particular. And that the proper way to address it is by saying Good One. Meaning the joke or the saying of which is a good one. The situation of something is a good one. Or that someone doesn't have anything else to add to that. This response is often followed by a slurp as hobbits, boggits, and dangits are often drinking something at the time. Sometimes they are drinking when the phrase is used and they laugh while they are drinking, causing them to choke. So they usually try to drink while everyone else is drinking at the same time. That way they can respond to the quote Purple Apothecary Apple in a dignified manner with a proper Good One.

It isn't just about hobbits. It can be about many other things. It could be about Elves. Or Dwarves. Or Wizards. It could never be about Orcs. Or Dark Lords. There's nothing good about those. Unless it's about a good one against those scoundrels. This page can also be about some people, maybe they are clowns, or used car salesmen? It can be about food or plants. It can be about things in the earth, or sea, or in space. It can be about a story you heard. Or a rumor. A good rumor never a bad one unless the bad rumor was against the Orcs making it a "Good One". Do you see where I'm going with this? It's like an Oreo cookie, it offers a creamy center which is good. It's like having a library with an extra wing with even more books. And now you know the rest of the story.
