Hi all,
In New England, a very common slang term is "wicked". We use it to mean "very". Hence, something can be "wicked good", "wicked bad", etc...
My WIP takes place in the 19th century. I wanted to have a character use it in dialogue, but I'm not sure if it was in use then. I've googled and yahooed and can't find any historical time frame for when it started.
Anyone know?
thanks in advance...
