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

        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

            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.
