　　A
　　Wicked! Note the intonation(语调). It means “wonderful”, “great”, “cool”, “splendid”. It came into English from United States’ slang in the 1980s or maybe earlier. Certainly it arrived in Britain in the late 1980s.
　　It was part of a trend which goes back decades to use bad words to mean good concepts, or the other way round. I mean you might remember saying, “ That’s great” meaning “ It isn’t great”. And always there’s been this use of the word “naughty” to mean “nice”. So it’s part to a general trend.
　　It’s mainly used as an adjective in front of a noun, for example “ We had a wicked time!” Or, of course, you can use it on its own by just saying “ Wicked!” as a reaction ― that’s how youngsters use it. And youngsters, of course, knowing that grown-ups are now using it as well, have decided to use other bad words in the same sort of way ― I’ve heard young people in recent years use words like “ evil” meaning “good”, or “brutal” meaning “good”.
　　“Wicked” is still around. This means, of course, that the traditional sense of “wicked” is now being squeezed out. So with "wicked", tone of voice is the only way to tell the old meaning from the new meaning, and even that’s ambiguous(含糊不清的) sometimes, so you have to be careful, and pay very careful attention to the context.
　　And notice that the word is extending its use. The other day, for the first time, I heard somebody say “wicked cool”, meaning “very cool”.

　　I had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I officiated（主持）at two funerals for two elderly women. Both died a natural death. At the first home, the son of the deceased（已故）woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. It’s my fault.”
