Medical - Psychology / Interview with Psychotic patient
Spanish term or phrase: jodidamente bien (from SPAIN)
Dr.: ¿Se da cuenta de que la gente no la entiende porque habla demasiado rápido?
Pt.: (risa) No lo sé. No hablo tan deprisa. Lo que pasa es que me lo estoy pasando **jodidamente bien**. ¿No me lo puedo pasar bien?
¿Tiene más ideas de lo normal?

I know the word 'joder' is given different meanings in different countries. I think the meaning here is "fucking good time", but I need to make sure.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The reason I had doubts is because on a previous answer the word 'joder' was used like this: ¿Está más interesada en el sexo? Joder, sí Todos los putos días (risas). I then translated as : "Shit yeah, every fucking day!" What do you think?
