Talk:Sick

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • Sick was only about the magazine, so I moved it to Sick (magazine), despite the number of links to it, because a silly magazine which I in England had never heard of, is not the most important meaning of the word "sick". Anthony Appleyard 06:57, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sick!

What about "sick him", a command to dogs? It was used in comics as early as c. 1880 [1], and the OED quotes a source from 1845. Apparently derives from "seek". porges(talk) 07:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

OED gives sick as the spelling, not sic. porges(talk) 08:23, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

what about sick as in "ill" like, "that's ill" in hip-hop ?

[edit] Sick has a new meaning (an illogical one)

It now is used to refer to something really cool. Sort of odd. Nonsensical. But a meaning none the less.
