    I tried to find the origin of this phrase. "It seems to have been a Lakota (Sioux) war cry.

    It's been attributed to Crazy Horse. Accounts of the Battle of Little Bighorn have him saying:

    "It is a good day to fight! It is a good day to die! Strong hearts to the front! Weak hearts and cowards to the rear!"

    I use it sometimes more in a japanese budo sense - acknowledging that every day could be our last, and so to live life well every day. I tend to think of it on warm sunny days more though.

    (I also heard of a hairdresser who used to say "It's a good day to dye"... :-)

    That's what the "corsair aircraft" on StarCraft N64 video game say when they are manufactured. If their side wins I guess that means it's a good day because you DIDN'T die.

    It means more that "this is an appropriately moral and memorable enough fight that I am content to give my life pursuing victory"

    ...and to TheSquirrel...it's Chief Dan George! :)

    In a morbid sense probably means it's a good day, as in if this were my last day, i would be satisfied with it. I would die happpy.

    I've always like that expression and know when I would say it. After having a really good day when all things fall into place and everything worked out right. I've had a few days in my life that came real close to that and it felt good to wake up the next day knowing that I had a chance for it to be even better next time.

    It means that any day is as good as any other to do what needs to be done.

    Also, I love Dan George, and I'm sorry he's dead.

    I'd like to die on a good day with nice weather and such, but I don't wanna ruin it by dying tragically.
