And it makes me wonder: when did 'wicked' become a word the rest of the country uses? It used to be a New England (and particularly Maine) thing, but now I see/hear people all over use it occasionally. It makes me laugh because one of my brothers refuses to say it because he thinks it's so hick. I embrace my hickdom and use it as much as possible, especially around him. That and a hearty "Jeezum Crow!" I never say "Ayuh" or "You can't get theyah from heyah," though, that's just lame. :-P

I'd love to see Maine. I embrcae my 'Hickdomness too'. Wouldn't have it anyother way.
Oh "wicked " Is such a Maine thing. Must be all those people that have moved from the area that are spreadign it inot the rest of the population. Embrace your inner Hick!!
Becky, I so look forward to seeing the things that tickle your funny bone! Love this sign--I'm surprised that it hasn't been hijacked to a dorm room somewhere!
Oh that is so funny. I don't know why I thought it was a Boston thing. I can just hear the accent, "Wicked Awesome"
Thats too funny. My dh uses that word often lol.
Oh that is so funny. I'm not sure about wicked catching on. I have a friend, originally from Toronto, and she has used it for as long as I've known her. It always makes me chuckle too.
LOL - You are too funny!!
That is hilarious. There are a lot of rednecks here too, and I have heard Jeezum Crow from them. :-)
LOL! love the sign and the sayings. amazing how they spread across the country, isn't it?

LOL. Okay you are gonna have to translate for me.
So funny! I thought 'wicked' was a teen kind of word! :) I was in Maine last October and it sure is beautiful!
So funny! Wicked funny! Actually, I always thought of "Maine" as sophisticated and cool. . . . But I'm from ND.

Great sign. And "ayuh" reminds me of Sarah, Plain and Tall, one of my favorite moves!! Gotta love Maine!
