While it translates literally to « I am good, » the phrase « ich bin gut » suggests that you are good at something. Out of context, this is usually taken to mean « good in bed. » Instead of « sich anhören » and « klingen » in some parts of the German speaking world « tönen » is used; but as far as I know, no « mir » is used in a sentence like « Das tönt gut. », either. The official manner, in line to ZDv 10/8, of formal addressing of military people with the rank Kapitänleutnant (OF-2) is “Herr/Frau Kapitänleutnant“.

Just observe what other people say, as there are regional customs. ‘Mahlzeit’ is used in offices and other work-places all over Germany, between about half-an-hour before the usual lunch-time to about an hour afterwards. From about an hour before going-home-time (or ‘knocking-off-time’, as we say in England), Germans will often say ‘Feierabend! This has nothing to do with a planned celebration or party; it just means time to go home. The gap between ‘Mahlzeit’ and ‘Feierabend’ can be quite short in some places, especially where working hours are flexible…

How to say « That sounds good to me » in German?
Before noon you can just use Morgen.But I’m not sure at which is the correct boarder between the two usages, because I’m only a Zugereister, meaning I didn’t grow up in Bavaria. I’d say there isn’t an alternative on the same level of formality. « Servus » is an informal alternative but there are many situations where it’s not appropriate. This is used as hi/bye in Bavaria and probably also in Austria. You won’t sound like a « Saupreuß » and avoid the religious phrase.
Stay upwind at least 300 feet from the building. ONLY use your building evacuation assembly area if the area is upwind of the building. If possible, lock the door to prevent any other persons from entering the contaminated area. Proceed to the Evacuation assembly area, located at the Town Center sign located south east of the building on Hewitson Street. The ‘Chef’s table’ is the exception which we reserve 100% of the time. Please consult a manager for reservation inquiries at all times.
I generally discourage religious phrases, but « Grüß Gott » has really lost its religious meaning and is used by most atheists (with some exceptions, of course) because of the dominant geographical meaning. Younger people often use a derived version to greet each other. Personally I prefer a hearty “Hallo” (or “Moin” in the north) but this is generally not seen as very polite and should be avoided if you don’t know your interlocutor and don’t want to give offence. People don’t get huffed if you’re a minute or two early/late (unlike in English speaking countries, where people feel a need to apologize if they use « good morning » at two minutes past noon). And this is again independent of the region you were born. There are also people in Bavaria and Austria who don’t like to say « Grüß Gott ».
Your Answer
But for sure there will be people who find it important to mark their own origin and their own standard and always respond in the way they are used to in their group, their region, etc. I’m a Bavarian in Prussian exile and have been here for the last four years. I’m proud of my Bavarian-ness and thus keep my dialectal speech and regionalisms. Thus, in these four years I have always used Grüß Gott when speaking to people I would use Sie towards — except for early mornings or late evenings when I would have used (Guten) Morgen or Abend in Bavaria, too.

All employees are responsible for preventing and reporting acts of violence that threaten or perceive to threaten a safe work environment. « Ich bin gut » is a word for word translation of English « I’m fine/well/good (good probably only in AmE), but it is no idiomatic German. It is never used in this form as a reaction to the question « Wie geht dir’s? Assuming you meant « sounds good » as the affirmative to someone’s questions, both « Klingt gut » and « Das hört sich gut an » are perfectly fine. By the way, « Grüß Gott » is not understood to be religious by the locals.

I dislike using a religious phrase to salute others (potentially non religious persons). Further north than Bavaria, you can also use Moin, or Moinmoin. It’s fun to say, perfectly polite, quite common, and somewhat disarming. Depending on the time of day, these are perfectly acceptable and not stiff at all. Some say « moin moin » is intended as an answer to « moin », others will label anyone saying « moin moin » as a « Schnacker », i.e. a chatterbox. Please always remember that is important to avoid using wedges or otherwise blocking hallway and exit doors open.

However, as to German traditions and in line to seamen´s language the abbreviation of the title to « Herr/Frau Kaleu » (contemporary usage) is used in verbal communication. The commander (line officer) of the Type VIIC U-boat U96 in the film Das Boot was of this rank, and called « Herr Kaleun » (historical usage) by his crew. I was born in the city of Kiel in the north, and have been living some time in Karlsruhe in the south. Curiously Moin is also in use in Switzerland, which makes the Low German hypothesis less credible – if only for that regional use of the word.

In Austria you don’t hear »Moin« (only immigrants and tourists from Germany might use it). »Moin« is one of those words of who most Austrian think that it sounds very ugly (not as ugly as »Quark«, but close to it). Sorry, German friends, we like you, but we would like you even more if you wouldn’t say »Moin« when you visit Austria.
Is « Ich bin gut » a valid reply for « How are you »?
They often tend to shorten it to « Gott » or even « ‘ott » or something similar. It is nothing but an empty formula, similar to « How do you do? » in British English (which is answered with an equally empty « How do you do? »). Just get over your literal understanding and, when inRome, do as the Romans do. You should never use a non-existent variant of a regional greeting formula (like « Grüß Sie » where « Grüß Gott » is the custom).
Surely can canrespond with moin, if you are greeted with it. From this I would conclude, that it is surely not formal, but neither explicitly informal. It is misunderstood, however, the further South you go, but in the region of Bremen it is fine. Just wanted to add that I’m pretty sure there’s a regional factor in moin coin this as well.
