Have a good time of it Meaning in English
expression
Definition
To live in a comfortable or enjoyable way, often with little difficulty or many pleasures. It can describe someone benefiting from good fortune or simply enjoying life.
Usage & Nuances
This is an informal, somewhat old-fashioned expression. Often used to describe someone whose life is going smoothly or is filled with pleasures. Common in British English; less frequent in American English. Not the same as just 'have a good time' at an event — 'have a good time of it' refers to a general period, not a specific moment.
