Wicked is wicked catchy

Today my dad came back on a flight from Europe and brought a Dutchman home for a cup of coffee. This man was born in the Netherlands, but moved to New Hampshire in 1982, or some time around then. Even though he has lived here for quite a while, he still has a rather thick accent. I was baking some bread in the kitchen and just casually listening to their conversation. At one point, I heard this man use the word "wicked." It was used perfectly, like any other New Englander would use it. It was interesting that this man who has lived in this area for quite a while has picked up on the regional words and in what context they are used. It was also cool to hear wicked said in a thick accent. This man may stick out because of his accent, but he won't stick out for not knowing the regional words.
