IV - copacetics....

[Carvill, John]

Welcome Stephen.

Dunno about other books, but he did use copacetic in Vineland:

"Well, Ralph," DL drawled, "matter of fact, see, Brock ain't in the past
right now, he's in the present tense again, badassin' around up in
Vineland County, actin' like a li'l fuckin' army o' occupation."

"Hey - I got nothing to do with pot growers, all right? You know that.
As soon as I saw all this drug hysteria coming, I diversified on out of
that whole market. Plus it's a Republican Justice Department, come on.
I'm copacetic with all these people."
