Is sick good or bad?

If in the nominative case, then good. That band is sick.

If used in the dativ or akkusativ case, bad. That band makes me sick.

Tight was popular about 8-10 years ago

I remember when bad and fat meant good. Dope, rad, awesome, and clean were also in the vernacular.

Tight was used off and on back in the 80's it seems.

I really miss jive talk. A forgotten American dialect...

I believe the new catch phrases are "on fleek" & "wavy"

I've been trying to make a go of "defenestrative" but progress has been slow.

That isn't new at all. That was used when I was in high school 10 years ago, and I think it was old then.

My two year old uses awesome to describe everything. Sometimes awesome sauce.

Since she's the youngest person I know who can speak, I'm gonna defer to her knowledge of what's cool to say from here on out.

Where I was in the early '80's the term "rude" was used for this.

And also it's PHAT, not fat.
