Definition

Classic slang from the '60s (and later Boston-area staple) meaning extremely cool, awesome, or impressive. Originally surfed its way through Southern California before becoming a New England linguistic trademark—because sometimes "very" just doesn't cut it when describing how rad something is.

Example Usage

That vintage motorcycle you restored is wicked cool, dude!

What's the John?

British rhyming slang that's been shortened more times than a game of telephone, originating from "What's the story?" becoming "What's the John Dory?" (a type of fish) and finally just "What's the John?" Essentially means "What's going on?" or "What's the deal with that?" It's Cockney slang for people who like their questions with extra steps.
