Farlo Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Lol, I love the comic even if it isn't following suit. Glad to see you haven't completely disappeared and are still checking up on things :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z929669 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Funny, but completely understandable. "Sick" is relatively new lingo used by young Americans these days :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoppingby4now Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Haha...wait...wannabe? You're sick. At least till now, I can say I've never used that word as slang. But that reminds me of a commercial for some Mia sports drink or something recently. He's going over change in America, and I couldn't help but almost spit out a sip of tea when he said something along the lines of, "We changed Man bands to Boy bands. We gotta change that back."

MontyMM Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm just glad to see that TC is also occasionally prone to posting funny pictures and snapping at people that piss him off! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootsrat Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 "Sick" in a meaning of "awesome" is used in UK quite broadly though :) I've been living in UK for 10 year now, but even after that time I do some silly mistakes like that, so don't worry, TC :D Quite recent one, and that was at work too, I was asked to do something and I replied "I can't be bothered!", meaning I have something to do now, but will do it later. "Can't be bothered", as it turned our, is quite often perceived as a negative and rude thing to say though haha! The funniest thing I've hear though is my friend saying "Do you want to f**k with me?" to a girl. What he meant by that "Do you really want to mess with me?", as f**k is often use as "Don't f**k with me" - meaning "Don't mess with me". Hillarious, I think he was slapped by her for saying that :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssArrBee Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Every time I hear "sick" being used I can't help but think of the 80s. If you are old enough to have lived through the 80s then you'll remember that before every was "sick" it was "ill". I believe the Beastie Boys were the biggest promoters of "ill" things.
