I was going to say something similar, but as early as the 80s? I was 18 in 1990 and said 'Wicked' a lot. 'Sick' seemed to come after that?That started in the 1980s so you'd probably need someone in their 60s to tell you how it came to mean cool.
On that note, when a waitress comes to the table and says 'sorry about the wait' I have to bite my lip to stop myself replying ' That's OK, I like a girl with a few curves'Maybe it’s time to lose some weight?

100% this.I have never, and will never, call anyone "Bro".
Even if I had a brother, I would never call him that.
Also, when asked a question I would never answer in the affirmative, "100%".
Probably an age thing.

My late Dad and I, in later years before he passed, used to play the “Withdean” game. We took bets on the closest minute the commentator would bring up Withdean/Goldstone from his notes and our troubled past - bonus points if it’s after a goal against a “bigger” side“And Smith must score”
Going to be hearing that quite a bit over the next couple of days
