goodenoughism 

An attitude best described in the statement that "things don't have to be perfect, they just need to be good enough". It can be manifested at school, work, or in everyday activities - especially when doing things you don't enjoy and don't want to waste your time on.
It may be considered the opposite of perfectionism.

A person displaying this attitude - i.e. doing things "good enough" and paying no more attention to them than needed - is called a goodenoughist.

It is mostly used in a positive sense about oneself, and in a negative sense about others.
When it comes to household chores, I'm a goodenoughist.

Business is a competition, there is no room for goodenoughism.

David Goodenough

This is a character from the french youtube channel Joueur Du Grenier. He is depicted as a man who passes everything off as "good enough" with a shrug.

One use it to personify excessive tendency to put things into perspective (sometimes in a ridiculous or careless way).
Also used for burlesque black humor when one is pointing out good things in dramatic situations.

Goodenough st 

The coolest street in Boston. If you grew up on this street, you were destined for greatness. The coolest kids in Brighton hang around this street, whether it’s at McKinney playground where degenerates drive around stolen mopeds or the Fanuel projects, where young 35 gang members grow up doing hood rat things with their hood rat friends. Overall, Goodenough st is the coolest street in Boston, as the new generation of Goodenough st kids do their best at beating the yuppies out of their neighborhood. No one likes yuppies... they are ruining Boston.
