Cool

when ever in i-club I often read supposedly hip words the Yanks ahem, the Americans use to describe cool things. I was recently put in my place when this guy described someones ride as "sick". In reply I said, "Dude don't you mean slick?" he said no. sick as in real hot! must be me or have others experienced this?

Another one they have used is "Tight" which also descibes something real nice. But Brits wouldn't described a babe as being real tight otherwise you'd think something else!

Anyone others?

Theres definately too much in this country that has originated from the US. Not just the slang. Its going to get worse as well.
Unfortunately.
