Let me preface this by stating that my hatred of this phrase takes up one of my alloted "irrational" hatreds, so I'm not sure I'm the best one to answer this, but here goes:

I always want to respond "a good WHAT?" A good day? A good evening? A good wank? (Taken from "The Office" when Tim says, "Nah, I plan to just go home, watch some TV, and have a good wank." -- with extra emphasis on the pronunciation of the "k" in wank -- HYElarious, I tell you!)? A good joke? A good meal?

It's just so faux-hip, so, so.... inappropriately over-familiar.

Oh, I give up. I can't explain it. Like I said, it's my "irrational" category.
