‘Actually quite reasonable’
suggests surprisingly good
Reasonable quality however just makes it to acceptable
A reasonable return is good value
But if ‘reasonable’ is the response to ‘What’s it like?’
who wouldn’t think Iffy, then.
Reasonable as epithet is not particularly subject to reason it seems
connoting perhaps ‘fair’
but even there,
fair as in medium quality, unremarkable?
Or just as in ‘fair and reasonable’?
A shade or two less than considerable
Well ahead of negligible
Reasonable so damned
Adequate
