Arado Ar-681 (finished page 1)

[Tophe]

Sorry about the pics issue, that I encountered also this morning but that has disappeared for me this afternoon, better.

The Ar-781 was a triplex boom 3-seat derivative, never built alas (even as scale model)

That is wicked cool lookin'! (as they say here)

With the smiley thumbsup, I understood this was meaning good, while I didn't know precisely the meaning of "wicked".
I checked and Google Translate told me (in my French) something as bad/bad/good:

Yes, maybe as "crazy" which is bad, yes bad, and sometimes funny thus good.

We have an on-line Urban Slang Dictionary <http://onlineslangdictionary.com/> for English and American slang.  For some reason, our youth has long used the opposite word, like Bad = Good.  I think it's all about keeping their parents off-balance and unsure of what exactly they're hearing their kids say. 

Anyway, the USD says this about "wicked:

The slang term "wicked" also appears in the following thesaurus categories:

    Words meaning good, okay, cool, awesome, fun
    Words meaning very, extremely, completely, in a grand way 

Confusingly, the word "sick" is often used the same way:

You have my complete sympathy in trying to understand the hydra that is English ...

I don't know what happens with pictures on this site from time to time (even on my laptop, pictures not working right now), while the img tool with imgur site works better (?) concerning the picture with translation text.

Whether that would work in real life who knows and who cares
I like it.
