One of the interesting things about travelling around the US is that each region has its own set of slang. I recently moved to the Northeast (pretty close to Boston), and one word I've been hearing a lot of is "wicked".
"Wicked" is used when you really want to emphaize a point. For example, I think these new Member Lessons are awesome, so I'd say "these new lessons are aweome". If I was describing it to a friend and wanted to let them know that I feel very strongly about it, I'd say "these new lessons are wicked awesome".
Be careful - if you're in California people might not be familiar with this expression. It's only used in New England (Northeast US).

I've heard this phrase used in Oregon. Actually, I've heard "wicked" used in other situations as well. It's wicked cold. You're wicked smart. The sun is wicked hot today .

You can also shorten it to just "wick." Like this: "Did you see the Black Lips last night?" "Yeah it was pretty wick!"

I FIRSTLY THOUGHT THAT WICKED ACTUALLY MEANS BAD………BUT NOW MY OPINION CHANGES TO "IT MEANS EXPRESSING SOMETHING IN MORE STRONGER MANNER………LIKE……………THE ROOM WAS A WICKED MESS

are you keeping a diary or a travel journal? I MOSTLY do some writing online .i always start a topic for others to discuss and put an ear and eye to the reponses from different people in their own cultures.Also i do some responses and comments on others' discussion.i suppose it is this that put my ability of expressing myself to a greater extent and being more social in many ways. do you like writings and talk about things you are concerned with and regarding you?People are from all fields ,doctors, college professors,mother s,daddys,teachers, company white collars…Their thoughts could throw some light on us? why not join me at this writing site : http://www.mylot.com/?ref=lankie。 This site on which i am doing my topic starting also pay your writing task,015-0.022$ for each quality response that you posted.A quality reponse is something from your real experience ,talking about your way of dealing with things.Very insightful and most thoughtful!You also gotta write at least 4 lines .GOOD DAY!
