Back in the day, I recall the common response to "Hey, how are you doing", or "How goes it", would usually be, "Fair to middlin'" or "Can't complain".
The attitude was not looking for happiness or joy, but aware that shit happens and quite satisfied with nothing out of the ordinary to bitch about.

Although not pleasant, potholes were expected, but blowouts sucked.
