No, not the book. And not the more recent Broadway show.
I mean the "wicked" that modifes every noun, pronoun, adjective and unnecessary adverb uttered by those around me. I actually heard "wicked cool" at the mall yesterday. For a moment, I thought it was a SNL show. Or that I'd gone back to high school, and next I'd hear "major" and "oh my gawd".
But then I remembered that I now live in Massachusetts. Ah, yes. It all makes sense.
It's always wicked in Boston. Whatever "it" may be.
It can't get any better than living in Houston. Wait...can it?

I can see already that we'll have to retrain you each time you visit here. Until then, repeat after me:
"Coke" refers to all fizzy soft drinks. The proper response to "Would you like a Coke?" is "Sure. What kind do you have?"
By the same token, "pop" is a verb. It is not a noun.
"Walk" rhymes with "wok." It does not rhyme with "back."
Rhondar: Queen of the Sparrows
Since when are YOU queen of sparrows? And are they African or European sparrows? Are they laden?
I've been Queen of the Sparrows since I was in Geneva. I can't believe I never told you that story. I had dinner with a lovely group of adoring sparrows one night.
Actually, there are a few proper responses to "Would you like a Coke?" in New England (I live in Southern New Hampshire, spend a lot of time in Boston). The responses are:
1) Yes, please.
2) No, thank you. Do you have Pepsi?
3) No, thank you. I don't drink soda.
We call it soda, not "coke". I don't know where that rumor got started.
Wicked easy. ;)
