Several times, young people have exclaimed "your car is so sick!" At first I was perplexed. I like to think my car is way cool. I came home and asked my teens if sick meant good or bad. I was informed that it meant these people liked my car.
That was several years ago. I've become accustomed to hearing "sick" in reference to lots of seemingly good things. But apparently, coming from and adult it is questionable.
Hilary missed seeing America's Got Talent. Since I recorded it, I turned it on so she and David could watch it. Right before one act began, I turned to them and innocently said, "oh, you have to see this. It's sick!"
Silence. Then Elisabeth whispers to Hilary, "I think she means it's cool." Then gales of laughter. David couldn't stop laughing. Holy Cow! What's the big deal??? Apparently not a cool thing to say. But funny enough for them to post on Facebook.
P.S. I do have a sweet ride. Go ahead, laugh all you want.
