Wicked

Green witch's story

Wicked means morally bad or evil: a wicked deed, the wicked witch.

It extends to things that are harmful or unpleasant: a wicked storm, a wicked hangover.

In informal use, especially in New England, wicked works as an intensifier meaning very or extremely: That concert was wicked good.

The slang sense flips to mean impressive or excellent: Those shoes are wicked.
