Hi,

I have two questions.

- Could somebody maybe rephrase this for me please?

Logic is as good a word as any.
'Logic' is as good a word as any other word. There's nothing wrong with the word 'logic'.

This kind of thing is usually said in a context where one word must be chosen from several words that mean roughly the same thing.

- Could you give me more examples of this expression?
Tom is very rude. I could say 'ill-manered', or 'vulgar', or 'impolite', but 'rude' is a s good a word as any.
