Several decades ago, the expression tickety-boo was commonly used to mean "all in order," "correct," or "just dandy." Although it's rarely heard, a caller who once lived in Florida says her boss there often used it. Does it derive from Hindi? If you just can't get enough of this expression, check out Danny Kaye singing "Everything is Tickety-boo." This is part of a complete episode.
