In the town I'm from in Upstate New York everyone says the word "Wicked" in place of "very". It has been losing its cool over the last few years but those of us who grew up together still like it.
"Hey, that looks wicked cool."
"I feel wicked tired"
"mmm, this cake is wicked delicious."
I think we all thought we were surfers or something.
When I was living in Tokyo, several of my chinese friends said:
"Okay Nokay?"
It comes from old video games that used to say, in English:
Ok/Nk? It was sort of like a yes or no question. I thought it was fun so I have been using it ever since...

Thats a Maine thing too. We say "wicked" in Maine all the time. It is probably an all around New England thing.

Strangly enough, everyone here in Buffalo thinks I'm very strange for saying "wicked."
Thinking about it now, I find it a little strange they think this becuase the Buffalo accent shares a lot linguistically with the Boston accent... but I guess accents and slang are communicated seperately...
