Wicked good

Wickedness is tempting, hence Satan gets people to do many bad things. The word wicked does not merely imply bad; rather, it implies naugthy. According to Webster, one of the definitions of naughty is guilty of disobedience or misbehavior. The rebel side of each person wants to be wicked. Therefore, if something is in essence good, while still managing to have the wicked appeal, it is really good. For example, professor Ravel is a wicked good professor. Another variation of this adage appears in the form of "wicked cool." "Wicked cool" is an adage that is particularly common in Boston and Canada. Just the other day, at 3am, as I slaved away in studio, I heard a radio commercial (aired over a Boston radio station) for Newbury Comics use the adages "wicked good" and "wicked cool." I again came across "wicked cool" on a sign at Pearl, an arts and crafts store that has sucked away hundreds of dollars from me this semester, thanks to my studio class at MIT. One would expect that a university as expensive as MIT, costing over $20,000 per year in tuition alone, would provide its students with some class materials. So much for what one expects.
