wicked

While similar to the word 'very', it is actually better than 'very' and it's usage can expand to include a meaning of 'excellent'. Key to it's usage is passion in the voice and strong emphasis on the word over all others in the sentence. It must be better than very good and you are pumped about the thing that is 'wicked".

"Wow, this Maine lobster roll is wicked good!"
"The Sox were wicked good last night in that 10-0 blanking of the Yanks!"
"Can you believe I hit the jackpot? That was wicked cool!"
"Man, that moose in the road was wicked scary. Can't believe I dodged him. He'd have killed us had I hit him. That was wicked!"
