  1. Wicked doesn't mean "Good", you use it in front of words like wicked funny, wicked stupid, wicked skinny, wicked "good" wicked bad , wicked big ,wicked small etcetera…

  2. Wicked doesn’t mean good. Wicked means really, very or truly. In Boston the word wicked is used as an adverb not as an adjective as in: wicked hot, wicked cold, wicked stupid etc. The name Wicked Lobster wasn’t very well thought out. A better name would have been Wicked Good Lobster. No one has said wicked pissah in probably about 30 years unless they’re saying it ironically.

  3. There are several inaccuracies and misnomers here. First of all, only one street in Beacon Hill, Acorn Street, has cobblestones. Second, you would be hard pressed to the hear the colloquialism “Wicked Pissah” spoken around Boston. I lived all around Boston, many years in the 80’s and 90s, went to college in Massachusetts where many Bostonians went, and I never heard anyone utter the words, “Wicked Pissah”. I did hear the modifier “wicked” used many times. The thickness of the “Boston” accent varies widely based on neighborhood to different parts of New England.
    I think most people make that “Wicked Pissah” association from the SNL sketch and from “Good Will Hunting” and perhaps the Wahlbergs, who live in Dorchester, where the accents can be thicker there. Cliff on Cheers didn’t do the Boston accent any justice with his ridiculous impression of a Boston accent. No one talks like that character in Boston. I go back to Boston quite often from NYC, and never has it take me 5 hours to drive. Typically it takes 3 hours 45 minutes avoiding 95. The subway in Boston does not smell like it’s 120 years old. Boston is very good about keeping the T clean and I don’t remember it ever smelling bad. New York City, yes, as I grew up there.

  4. Dont waste your money on food at any touristy corporate owned NON BOSTON places like the places this guy chose.
    Modern Pastry!???
    Mikes is tbe real thing. And please. Please, stop trying to do the accent. No way.
    Wicked is a level or caliber. A grinder is an over baked sub.
    Now SCREW!! YA LOSAH.

  5. I was just in Boston a few months ago. I asked the Duckboat captain where to get a really good lobster roll. He said go to Fannieul Hall, for Boston Chowda Co., where I paid close to $90 for 2 rolls, 2 chowdas and a drink. It was the worst, driest lobster roll I’ve ever had. Did he set me up?
