Nice is one of those words that gets used a lot, perhaps to the point where it has lost much of its meaning. For instance, when you see a pro wrestler slingshot himself into the air off the ropes to plant his feet on his opponent's head, you might find yourself shouting, 'Nice!' I won't interfere with your usage of this word. I'm only going to try to explain what I mean by it. My most common use is in keeping with the example from the first paragraph. It is to underscore a particularly outstanding accomplishment of some kind. This accomplishment can be either creative or destructive. It just has to be outstanding. My next use is in reference to a person or an act of a person, as in 'nice guy' or 'nice move'. This is where the confusion starts for me. Definition is important here. A lot of people see wimps as nice people. I don't. They encourage bullies. And nice guys can be dangerous. Look at those smooth talking sales people. Look at those charming womanizers. Those politicians. They say all the right things at the right time. They're so nice! And you know who else is supposed to be nice? The Antichrist. It says so in the Bible. Look it up if you don't believe me. It's in Apocalypse or Revelation - whatever it's called. It says something like how everyone will be sucked in by the Antichrist because he has a pleasant voice and speaks in almost fully framed sentences with no cuss words.
