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).

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