The REAL term is: "wikkid f*ckin pissa" or "wikkid frickin' pissa" if you don't wanna sound too gross.

Only people that aren't from Boston would say Wicked Pissa. No one on the Northshore or Southshore combine the two.

In Winthrop it's "wicked pissa" or just "wicked."

I grew up on the South Shore and people may have used a couple times - very rarely though - only for once in a lifetime things, or really awesome things like the BoSox winning the World Series. It's usually posers who use it in my area, or outta staters who don't even know how to use it.

In portuguese,"pissa" is a non-dictionarized slangy word that translates to the english slangy Dick Tracy - without last name and capitalizing. The pronounciation is almost like the one described above: the "i" sounds ea, as in sea.

I grew up on the Noath Shoah (1958-1976) and I don't ever recall saying "wickid pissa". I'm not even sure I ever said "wickid". Either I'm a "Brahmin" or it came along after my time ;)

I grew up in Br'ricka in the 60s-70s and heard "wicked," "pissa," and the occasional "wicked pissa"... i think overuse by Charles Laquedera on WBCN in the 70s-80s made it kind of a stoopid cliche thing.

In my mind's ear I hear "Whoa . . . pissah!" much more easily than "wickid pissah" - which sounds extravagant.And it's "wickit", not "wickid" - at least in western Mass.
