Wicked

A slang term for emphasizing derived from the salem witch trial in Massachusetts. Wicked can be placed in two different places in the sentance and still make sense. It may be used in place of really and used the same way. It's usage is extremely common to rare depending on where in New England you are.

Note: It is an entirely different word from the UK slang term "Wicked" which is used in place of "Cool" or other similar words. They are not used the same so therefore they must be different words.

These fries are really great!
"These fries are wicked great!"
It's really snowing out.
"It's snowing out wicked."
