Wicked

DGC (late teens, have been using 'wicked' to mean good for some years now.

The other returnee is 'cool'. We have a bevy of young builders in and out of the house at the moment and their every other word is 'cool'.

My daughter and then partner used Wow in nearly every sentence about 20 years ago.

Whwn I was an Akela (scouting) in the noughties and 2010s, one of the boys (aged 8-10) used 'wicked' quite a lot to mean things like amazing or awesome. He's the only person I've ever heard using it.

That would be right. In one of the earlier Harry Potter films Ron uses it a lot and that made it popular amongst school-children.

So many people online seem “obsessed” these days.
Seems rather dramatic when trying a new lipstick…

I hope the word amazing when just describing something quite mundane dies out. I was talking to a young receptionist at the GPs the other day and when I supplied her with my name and date of birth she said ‘amazing’ and again when I said I could pop in again later.
Is just a complete misuse of the word.

I find that more often it’s ‘perfect’.

I think mis-use of words like amazing are often a bit like a nervous tic. The person, perhaps a little stressed, feels they have to say something and the word their mind lands on may seem rather daft.

I've had a similar experience to the one fallingstar describes. I just felt a little sorry for the person's apparent nervousness.

I think I need a 'Youth-Oldie' dictionary.

Lit, i think is the word now.
We've been sick, now we're lit.
