Re: Wick?

Maybe I have joined the right Forum - 'cause as soon as I started reading this I thought "yep, I've heard of 'wick'"

I don't think I've heard it used for nits/fleas, but in a similar vein it could be something like "the cake was wick with fruit" - that kind of thing. Probably more like "wick wi' fruit"

Re: Wick?

I always thought it meant 'fast' - as in "they were right wick" - meaning they ran away fast.
