I feel like every time I hear "neat" it's meant semi-sarcastically. Like, okay, I guess that's kind of interesting, but it's not really relevant or I don't know how to continue the conversation.

"So, not that it relates to anything we're talking about, but I'm a world champion in this one very niche thing that you've never heard of."

"...neat."

It’s VERY mild approval. Like a step above OK. I’m acknowledging the existence of the thing and maybe nodding my head or giving a thumbs up, but I’m forgetting it immediately as soon as it leaves my field of view.
