doesn't suck

An understated expression of a positive mood or otherwise pleasurable emotional disposition; an outcome that far exceeds the standards and/or expectations set forth prior to a defined, goal-directed behavior; an understated expression of awe at one's good fortune or that of another.

It "doesn't suck", when you have a manuscript accepted for publication in a top-tier professional journal; when you win the lottery, get a large pay raise without a proportionate raise in your job's expectations of your productivity or responsibility; getting a minimal criminal sentence rendered by judge or jury that is of far less severity thsn that which was was expected (e.g., probation versus life sentence.
