For those who don't know, using "wicked" as an adverb to mean something akin to
"extremely" is a very New England thing to do.  (I think there is a line in
Good Will Hunting about Will being "wicked smaht".)  After seven years in
Boston, I didn't realize I'd picked it up until moving to Michigan, and people
started giving me funny looks when I would say it was "wicked cold outside".
:-)

Still waiting for my CD...
