   Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:   
      
    AH>  My CANADIAN OXFORD says it is an "exclamation of

    AH>  include something a person has said or done which   
    AH>  seems exactly right under the circumstances.  If   
    AH>  their behaviour is out of the ordinary &/or requires   
    AH>  a bit of risk-taking, that adds some weight AFAIC.   
      
    AK>  May be the speaker's intonation is important.   
      
      
             Probably.  I've heard shop assistants saying "Have a nice day!" in a   
   sarcastic tone of voice when a customer they regard as having behaved badly is   
   about to leave.  They're just reading from the script, you understand....  :-Q   
      
      
      
    AK>  Can I say it scornfully to my wife when she cooked   
    AK>  something badly, "Good for you!" ;-)   
      
      
             Well... IMHO cooking is as much an art as a science, and if you're a   
   bit too quick to criticize you may be invited either to do it yourself or take   
   her out for dinner.  I don't mind when my family reacts to my attempts to sing   
   with comments like "Don't give up your day job," however.  It's a joke which I   
   realize is common among musicians & I don't aspire to being a rock star.  :-))
