    Sick can be used either to refer to something unfortunate (as in ill), or to refer to something really awesome. It’s just casual American slang.

      Calling something sick is far more than unfortunate, it’s closer to demented or disgusting

      It’s just casual American slang.

      We used to use it in Australia in the 2000s too. If something was very awesome, it was “fully sick”.
