How it's used
This expression acts as an intensifier that conveys a sense of satisfaction or pleasure, often implying that the feeling is greater than what others might expect. It is frequently used to describe a state of relief, physical comfort, or the enjoyment of a leisure activity. Despite the literal inclusion of the word for 'not know', it functions as a set phrase to emphasize the high degree of a positive experience.
Examples
It feels so good to go out and have fun on my day off today.
Common phrases
feeling extremely satisfied or smug
Common mistake
Learners often mistake this for a literal question about ignorance, but it is strictly an idiomatic way to express 'very' or 'extremely'. Do not use it to describe negative situations, as it is reserved for feelings of enjoyment or comfort.
