Does "wicked"mean good-looking or fashionable? I often heard people said it in US TV series but can't find the exact explanation in the dictionary? Is there anyone who can tell me the meaning of that word using in spoken language?

"Wicked" = awesome/cool

It's not used very often these days, but you might come across it in old books and movies. It was especially popular in the 1980s, so people might use it as a joke when talking about the 1970/80/90s or trying to imitate a teenager from that era.

For example: "Your shirt is wicked cool." "That party last night was wicked."

Wicked is a negative word. Like "That wicked old witch!". It's not used in casual conversation at all. It's more like in those old movies or when you want to sound wise/smart. Sometimes it can mean cool but depends on how you use it. For example you can say "That's wicked cool!" but it would be an insult if you say "you're such a wicked person.." but nobody says that lol.

@Anitayan0722 😅 Yes, you wouldn't hear many native English speakers use it like that anymore, but it's cool that he knew what it meant!
