Sick!

[edit]

What about "sick him", a command to dogs? It was used in comics as early as c. 1880 [1], and the OED quotes a source from 1845. Apparently derives from "seek". porges(talk) 07:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OED gives sick as the spelling, not sic. porges(talk) 08:23, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

what about sick as in "ill" like, "that's ill" in hip-hop ?

Sick has a new meaning (an illogical one)

[edit]

It now is used to refer to something really cool. Sort of odd. Nonsensical. But a meaning none the less.

Vomit / vomiting

[edit]

In British English 'sick' and 'to be sick' refers to vomit and the act of vomiting specifically, in addition to being ill / having a disease . I'm not sure if this has been omitted because it doesn't mean the same in US English? I've added this link to the disambiguation page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.204.42.99 (talk) 13:07, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

another meaning

[edit]

What about when people say "that's sick" meaning gross or discusting?--Brian Earl Haines (talk) 20:37, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation pages are not dictionary articles; they disambiguate Wikipedia articles that have, or might have, the ambiguous term as a title. The Wiktionary article linked on the page does cover the colloquial meaning you refer to.--ShelfSkewed Talk 21:12, 13 July 2011(UTC)
