non-deadish

adj. A less-than-encouraging word to find in your medical chart.

Real citation: “I'm looking for a Meade DS-2000 or DSX mount - Don't need the tripod or controller, just the mount head itself. The one I've got is deadish, so replacing with a non-deadish one would be good - would even consider a deadish one since deadish+deadish = alive :-)”

Made-up citation: “Being with you is…beyond words. I feel renewed. I feel literally born again. I feely marginally non-deadish!”
