Approved Boston Slang

Thu 11/16/06

Wicked – very; or occasionally cool. Used indiscriminately, can modify anything (e.g.: “Wicked good.” “Wicked bad.” “Wicked boring.”, etc.). Almost always used as an adverb, rather than an adjective; some Bostonians feel it is grammatically improper not to put an adjective or verb after “wicked”. Beantown-approved Boston Slang on Wikipedia. (A hoobanger is a large party.)

  1. Of course, upon further inspection, the article mentions how Beantowners wouldn’t really call it Beantown.

  2. I’m from South Carolina.

  3. Oh, I wasn’t suggesting you were from Boston. Just thought it was funny to say Beantown-approved when folks from Boston don’t typically call it Beantown, according to the article.

    I’ve never been there myself, so I can’t really speak to that. The phrase just made me chuckle, in light of it being Boston slang.

  4. Orion

    wicked pissa!
