Irish slang meaning awesome, really good, or admirable — a phonetic respelling of 'decent' reflecting Irish English pronunciation, but used much more positively than 'decent' implies in standard English. Where 'decent' suggests merely adequate, 'dacent' in Irish slang signals genuine approval and warmth. Calling someone or something 'dacent' is a real compliment in Irish usage.
