Calm

'Fine', 'no problem', 'okay' — 'calm' — as the London acknowledgement that describes a state and means an agreement, and the record's entry for the word that is said in a tone that is not always calm. 'Calm, calm' is a de-escalation.

The record notes 'calm' is the successor to 'safe', that both mean 'yes', and that London has more ways to say yes without enthusiasm than any city in the file.

Live specimen. A brand account used Calm in a reply to a customer complaint. The complaint was about a delivery. The customer did not reply.

Correction to the headnote: Calm was not coined, it was noticed. Someone said it, someone else screenshotted it, and the screenshot is the coinage.
