At one point in The Maltese Falcon, Kasper Gutman (aka the "Fat Man") says to Sam Spade:

Quote:
Frankly, sir, I'd like to have you along. You're a man of nice judgement and many resources.


As well as "pleasant" and "kind", nice means "fine or subtle" as in "a nice distinction."

I like boring words which have interesting but usually overlooked additional meanings. Another example is "report" for gunshot, and "sensible" for "able to notice or appreciate" ("we are sensible of the difficulties he faces.")
