Which is better - good or decent?

One poll made me think about this.

Yeah, that G4 poll is wrong. Decent really means ecceptable, whilst good is pleasing.

I think tbh they are both the same.

Decent. Because that also means dressed.

Jon:"Are you decent, Squire?"

Alan:"I'm always decent!"

Don't ask me why I posted this.

Think of it this way -

I make a decent salary. (not as much as I'd like, but not too bad, considering)
I make a good salary. (worth bragging about, even if it doesn't rival B. Gates)

Decent is a little better than average, but not great. Good gets closer to great.
