Did you mean Sick or Sick?

Conversation yesterday:

Me:  "How was the meeting?"

Husband and Son:  "Great."

Husband:  "There was a kid with a mullet there."

Me:  "That is sick!"

Son:  "Mom!  (disgusted face)  You can't use that word!"


Sick: Adjective

  1. In poor health
    She was sick all day with the flu
  2. (colloquial) Mentally unstable, disturbed.
  3. (colloquial) In bad taste.
    That's a sick joke.
  4. Having an urge to vomit.
  5. (slang) Very good, excellent, awesome.
    This tune is sick.
    Dude this car has a fully sick subwoofer!
  6. In poor condition
    (sick building syndrome; my car is looking pretty sick; my job prospects are pretty sick)



Just for the record,
when I use the word "sick" and mullet in the same sentence
I'm referring to definitions #2, #3 and #4
with an emphasis on #4



 my son, on the other hand, is going with definition #5
and is now determined he'll be sporting one himself.

Could I get you some Polo to go with that?
