Okay, perhaps "peachy" isn't all that common and you distinguish it without difficulty. Two things, however: 1) Not all Czechs are fluent enough in English (of course, many don't know any English at all), so many Czechs will not recognize this is in fact an English expression; 2) I've had a number of times when while in a grocery store, speaking English with an American friend, have spoken aloud the word "peaches." Believe me! It gets a reaction! Particularly from the grandmas. Some of the glares I got from these older ladies could have melted steel.
Ok, so what is peachy or peaches in Czech? I assume it has the same effect at the word "fakt" in America.
