    Sick is said as a bad thing. But in teenager slang it can be used as something cool.

      That’s why biden used this double meaning word… I see.

        He clearly didn’t intend it to mean anything else but the literal meaning

        No. It only has that meaning if you’re 14 and very edgy. No adult will use it like a teenager would.

          Sick has had this meaning since like… The 70s or 80s. Its not just edgy teens. In fact I suspect that this has probably fallen out of favor with gen alpha.

          So if anything, I think you probably have that exactly backwards

            Still at least two generations newer than any slang Biden would use.

              Oh for sure, my comment wasn’t literal. No way does Biden have the presence of mind to make a slick response like that

            It’s been around for a long time but you stop using it like that once you have a sliver of adulthood. The point being that no Biden did not use it as a double entendre.

          Ah yes, only 14 year olds skateboard and/or surf. Lol
