在新生代的英文裡還蠻多負面的字詞變
成讚嘆的。對話當下的口氣、內容、外
加對話者的年齡層，都會讓意思改變。
以下幾個生活中的例子：
Mad

mad.
- means crazy / nuts.
(could be good or bad depands on
the context)
Mayhem's new album is mad cool.
- means extremely.
Mayhem's new album is so mad.
- means wild.
- means remarkable.
Wicked*
My son is dating a wicked woman.
- means evil.
(只聽過老太太用這字眼)
A: I got the tickets for Jamiroquai's
gig next week!
B: Oh my god, that's wicked!
- means awesome / amazing.
I found this wicked awesome jacket in
the second-hand shop!
- means cool.
*this word somehow is a bit more funky.
Sick
A: Have you watched Death Proof?
B: Duh, it's sick!
- means cool.
Dope

- means cool.
