WICKED

The Boston meaning derived from the movie " West Side Story" in 1961. The meaning came from the movie in which the gangs of NYC would use the word " cool ". In Somerville, Ma. in the hub of Boston, Jim Labadini orchestrated the use of this word through out the Somerville school system over 4,000 students. This was intended to be a word that would be unique to kids in Somerville to use to express " how cool" something is in their own terminology. It quickly caught on through out Greater Boston.

Somerville is the most wicked city in Boston.

wicked

origins: Boston, Massachusetts, but is now commonly used all over New England. If you're from Iowa (or anywhere that isn't New England) and you use this word, you sound like a dumb ass.

Definition: very, really, so, totally.

Example: That party was wicked awesome.

*Note: to properly use 'wicked' there must be a adjective placed after it. 'That party was wicked' is not correct.*

wick

In Northern Ireland the term wick is used to mean no good. Usually is replaced by other harsher words as a child gets older. Today one might say if something is wick, 'it sucks'.

That movie is completely wick.
