Peachy Keen

I was wondering how many of you had heard the phrase “peachy keen”. It means something is wonderful, or going well. Someone may ask you how you’re doing, and one replies “peachy keen”. It’s also used to be sarcastic if things are going badly for you, and someone asks that question. I looked up the origin, but I won’t bore you with that. I’ve used these words numerous times over the years.
How many of you have heard those words, and has your day been peachy keen so far?

I have heard it, but not sure I ever used it. Day has been reasonable no real complaints other than the situation I discussed earlier.

@AmbiePam No, I am alright. 
I like to be busy.
I keep on thinking that I might get bored or feel less than challenged when I retire.
I like using my working skills as long as I work.
I will have to development other skills, to help me relax in a couple of years.

I remember reading a Doom Patrol comic book in the 1970s when male character Robot Man said to his teammates of the superhero team those words.

@AmbiePam I do remember the old school comic book since some sites do share the facts of the hero group stories.

I haven't heard that in decades. I use a sarcastic "just ducky" when things aren't going well.
