Savage/wicked

[dedicatedenglish]

If I say "working for someone else is savage/wicked", would that be understood as it's a good thing? My audience is young and casual.

Note that whenever you enclose a complete sentence in quotation marks, it must start with a capital letter, in the same way it would if it wasn't in quotes.

Informal BrE uses "wicked" to mean "fantastic" but I've never heard "savage" used the same way. Even with that potential definition, the surrounding context (or tone of voice) would need to make it clear that "wicked" was being used in the positive sense.

Context is very important.
