Comment on “It’s sick”

  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.

      Oh for sure, my comment wasn’t literal. No way does Biden have the presence of mind to make a slick response like that

    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.
