The other word "wicked" — in addition to its normal meaning of bad/evil (same
meaning as in other parts of the English speaking world) in New England has an
added attraction. It is essentially an intensifier and may be used, like "ayuh," in a
positive or a negative way or even a fairly neutral matter-of-fact way—again,
depending on the situation at hand. To complicate matters even more, the word
that “wicked” intensifies is frequently omitted!
