It is possible that it could be used in casual spoken language, but it would still sound awkward and unclear. A more correct and common phrase would be "decent enough," which is used to describe something as satisfactory or acceptable. For example: - The hotel room was decent enough for a quick overnight stay. - The food was decent enough, but not exceptional. - He did a decent enough job on the project given the tight deadline.
