Mar 20, 2011 at 4:26 comment added n0nChun I wonder how the other guys missed this particular connotation of the word
Mar 20, 2011 at 3:12 comment added Robusto @kitukwfyer: I hear it all the time in video gaming and at the poker tables.
Mar 20, 2011 at 3:11 comment added Robusto @Noldorin: No, it's not what he's getting at, but it is germane to the discussion.
Mar 20, 2011 at 3:09 comment added kitukwfyer ...As a teenager, I think that this is pretty old. I mostly just read "sick" used like that in old YA books from the nineties/ early 2000's...Could be regional, though. It seems like slang varies more than anything else does regionally.
Mar 20, 2011 at 2:16 comment added Noldorin This is true, but most likely not what the questioner is getting at...
