wicked
Evil or impressively awesome
Wicked means evil or morally wrong: a wicked deed, a wicked witch.
It extends to things that are severe or unpleasant: a wicked storm, a wicked hangover.
In informal use, especially originating in New England, wicked serves as an intensifier meaning very or extremely: That concert was wicked good.
Something can also be wicked in an admiring sense—impressively skillful or cool: She has a wicked sense of humor.
