  Spin it further and get rid of “great” and “outstanding”. I suggest using plus good and double plus good.

  That's actually how it works in Irish. The word for good is deas, while the word for bad is deas prefixed with the negating particle mí, so mídheas.

  (There are still separate words for tge cardinal directions).

    Is it? I tried checking in a dictionary but it didn’t list mídheas as a word and “deas” was defined as right/nice/honest, not just “good”

  The complement of good, u good, I cludes things that are neither good not bad (neutral)
