When did "sick" become the new "cool"?

[Penguin]

There was cool, awesome, tight, and now sick.

Did I miss any other "cool" words? The late 90's were sort of a blur for me. ;)

When did "cool" become the old "sick"?

[OUDoc]

I don't remember seeing "sick" used that way until American Chopper. So I'm sure it was cool years before. :)

"Sweet" seems to get more play than "sick" in my house.

"Dude, did you see the sweet move that Bradford put on that lineman?"

This guy is responsible for a lot of this.

Oh, I remember that idiot. When ESPN was doing these stupid top 10 lists, he would end every broadcast with "Let the debating begin!" Like we were all sitting at a sports bar arguing over who is the #1 sacrifice bunter.

[Fugue]

He drives me nuts.

"That dunk was ridiculous."

Grrrrr.:mad:

When I hear some little punk say something is "sick," it makes me want to shove a molten spike up their a**. This should be fairly easy to accomplish, seeing as how the little punk's a** is probably only covered with underwear since the top of their pants usually hovers around mid-thigh.

I had to explain this to my boss a few weeks ago. I also included the examples of wicked, ridiculous, disgusting and ill.

[Viking Kitten]

Hee hee. Make some s**t up and tell her that's what all the cool kids are saying these days. In fact, tell her "Assfoamy!" is the new "Awesome!"

Report back if she tries to use it. This is gonna be the assfoamiest prank ever!

Wicked is cool, you illin' if you don't think so mofo. :)

I listened to rap and hip hop when I was younger. I still wear the big shorts when I play basketball. But somehow I managed, as a white man, to fight off any urges I had to make sure that when I needed to get my wallet, I wasn't touching the back of my knee. Just don't understand.

VK,
just got a kitten. Your avatar was intriguing so I tried to get the kitten to do the "dance". Didn't work. Try again later.

[Viking Kitten]

Try giving the kitten Ecstasy.

[Partial Qualifier]

Sick was cool, a few years ago. Sick sorta supplanted the short-lived 'crunk' as the latest 'cool'. There's no definitive 'cool' right now.

Wicked's a nice throwback but two syllables is one too many. I prefer 'sweet' and the multi-purpose 'dude'

[frankensooner]

This thread is so fetch, no wait, it is rufus!

[8timechamps]

If a one-eyed man can change the terminology of a nation's youth...then I concede his greatness.

[pergdaddy]

I'll have to get my hands on some ecstasy then.


I prefer dood, cool, sweet, and sh*t. Not in that order.

I also like to use A**clown and A**hat towards people when I'm driving.

Wicked isn't bad.

I haven't used sick in a long time.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Hawt, nasty, pornographically bitchin'.

[mdklatt]

Report back if she tries to use it. This is gonna be the assfoamiest prank ever!

Dinkin' flicka.

Has anyone informed PQ that he is now "old" and therefore would be the last to know what "cool" is?

My God I hate this guy. He is the reason I haven't watched Sportscenter in about 8 years.
