a good thing

Something that is pure and true beyond a reasonable doubt. "A good thing" has the best intentions for you and your complete interests in mind. Although a person is never perfect "a good thing" is seldom to come by and ultimately this person will never betray you even in the slightest. This scenario is always worth fighting for.

She realized she had found a good thing and would not surrender it for the world.

A Good Thing, Actually

1. When a fuck up of historic and epic proportions is described by a politician in the least damaging way to that politician.

2. Explaining a titanic level dumb decision by taking its most logical argument against it and attempting to make it a positive.

We are removing all of our face mask policies in the state, and we feel the loss of life is a good thing, actually, since the deaths will be a boom to the funeral home business.

the good thing

The act of cunilingus. It just sounds better than saying "he ate me out", and you can talk about it at work with your close friends without any old people getting offended.

Oh, I SO got 'the good thing' last night!

Good Thing

The one good thing in my life
Has gone away, I don't know why
She's gone away, I don't know where
Somewhere I can't follow her

The one good thing didn't stay too long
My back was turned and she was gone

Good thing
Where have you gone
My good thing
You've been gone too long (good thing)

People say I should forget
New friend tomorrow
Don't get upset
People say she's doing fine
Mutual friends I see sometime

That's not what I want to hear
I wanna hear she wants me near

Good thing
Where have you gone
My good thing
You've been gone too long (good thing)
Good thing

Then one day she came back
I was so happy that I didn't act
Morning came into my room
Caught me dreaming like a fool

Good thing, my good thing
My my my my good thing
Where have you gone (good thing)
My good thing
My good thing (good thing)

Girl
Where have you gone
It's been so long
Good God girl
Good God girl
Good God girl
Good thing
Good God
Good God

too much of a good thing

A phrase typically used to indicate that having too much of a "good thing" generally becomes a bad thing, and you're gonna have a bad time.

This applies to pretty much everything - even seemingly normal everyday habits - as well as more obvious examples like food, sex, drugs (especially alcohol), and, hell, even water.

All of them can be good, and they often are. But too much of any one of them will always lead to negative and painful consequences, some sooner than others. Especially if you're actively trying to ignore those consequences by continuing to over-use said "good thing" - all you're doing is just putting off that pain until later... because you're still gonna have to deal with it eventually. Somehow, someday, it's gonna bite you in the ass, and the longer you push it off, the harder it's gonna bite. Could be physically, mentally, emotionally, or even spiritually...

In fact, people are very frequently utterly destroyed by good things.

The difference between medicine and poison is always in the dosage.

There's really no such thing as "too much of a good thing," because once you start reaching levels of "too much"... then whatever you're doing, it ain't a "good thing" anymore.
