  Could you explain it to me? I don’t really know the meaning of “it’s sick” (Is it ill?)

    Sick can be used either to refer to something unfortunate (as in ill), or to refer to something really awesome. It’s just casual American slang.

      Not to be confused with “ill” as in awesome.

      Calling something sick as far more than unfortunate, it’s closer to demented or disgusting

      It’s just casual American slang.

      We used to use it in Australia in the 2000s too. If something was very awesome, it was “fully sick”.

    Sick is said as a bad thing. But in teenager slang it can be used as something cool.

      That’s why biden used this double meaning word… I see.

        He clearly didn’t intend it to mean anything else but the literal meaning

        No. It only has that meaning if you’re 14 and very edgy.
