Question: In the U.K. does 'quite' always mean only a little bit, or only when you use it in the phrase 'quite good'? For example, I read a fanfic awhile ago where Clark told Lois she was 'quite safe'. I understood that to mean 'very safe' or 'completely safe', but that was before I read all this about 'quite good' meaning only so-so. So, did Clark mean Lois was 'relatively safe' or what?
