28 Slang Words Boomers Used to Say That Millennials Have Never Heard Of

Slang is funny because it causes one word to mean two completely different things. We all know the traditional definition of wicked, but most of us also recognize that the slang version means the exact opposite. Surfers and skaters started using “wicked” to describe something really good, not evil. We’re sure their grandmothers loved that.

As the word wicked gained popularity as slang, people naturally started tacking “totally” in front. That’s how “totally wicked” was born. If we’re being completely honest, we’re not over this slang phrase. It’s a good phrase! We might be in denial, but we’re pretty sure we’ve heard some kids and young adults use this slang word. Maybe it will come back in style again after all these years.
