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
someguy3@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
No. It only has that meaning if you’re 14 and very edgy.

Sick has had this meaning since like… The 70s or 80s. Its not just edgy teens. In fact I suspect that this has probably fallen out of favor with gen alpha.

Still at least two generations newer than any slang Biden would use.

It’s been around for a long time but you stop using it like that once you have a sliver of adulthood.

“Sick” meaning “cool” has been around since the 80s.
