I've heard an urban substitute for your "wicked" with "mad." I heard some people in Baltimore, some people in DC, and certain parts of NY and Jersey say it. Example: "Man that party was mad crazy." Translation: The party was really wild, but in an enjoyable sense. I've heard some people from VA used the same meaning but use the term "hella'. " Example: "It's hella' lot of food up in here." Translation: Large quanties of food are in the room or space. Others I've heard/familar with: Example : "Yo, this spot is packed!" Translation: It's very overcrowded in the area. "Dat outfit is tight. You gonna' look mad fly." Translation: The person is complimenting on someone having a nice outfit, and says that they will look really good. Translation: " No one on da' corner have swagga' like us " Translation: A comment about orginality. No one has style, quite like this individual, or group of individuals Example: "You ain't a G man, you a wangsta'. You ain't down wit da' game." Translation: The person is issuing a "g -check." Questioning the individual's street credibility, awareness of "the hood", gansta' life, etc. |

MAD CRAZY HELLA COOL My friends from NY used "mad" a lot to modify adjectives. "Hella" never really picked up, though some people tried. |
Hella is used a lot in the south west of England in Cornwall.

They also say fixin' and/or fitna' as a verb for about to, getting ready to, etc. |
