An old notion that it is wrong to say "I feel good" in reference to health still occasionally appears in print. The origins of this notion are obscure, but they seem to combine someone's idea that good should be reserved to describe virtue and uncertainty about whether an adverb or an adjective should follow feel. Today nearly everyone agrees that both good and well can be predicate adjectives after feel. Both are used to express good health, but good may connote good spirits in addition to good health. good 2 of 3noun1 a : something that is good b(1) : something conforming to the moral order of the universe (2) : praiseworthy character : goodness c : a good element or portion 2 a : advancement of prosperity or well-being the good of the community it's for your own good b : something useful or beneficial it's no good trying 3 a : something that has economic utility or satisfies an economic want b goods ˈgu̇dz plural : personal property having intrinsic value but usually excluding money, securities, and negotiable instruments c goods plural : cloth d goods plural : something manufactured or produced for sale : wares, merchandise canned goods e goods plural, British : freight 4 : good persons —used with the 5 goods plural a : the qualities required to achieve an end b : proof of wrongdoing didn't have the goods on him—T.
