I have other kind to definition for your expression.

Es explendido only that this form is less used, I mean that can result odd for the people but anyway that is used too.

Greetings.

I heard about that. Do people still say that? I guess that would be another example then.

No, I'm sure he said "that's baaad!"
E.g. "I just got a new _____"
-"That's baaaaaad!"

Yes, especially in eastern New England, particularly in eastern Massachusetts, in southeastern New Hampshire and in Maine. Around here "wicked" has several different slang meanings, sometimes being an alternative to "cool" in the sense "I like/love it" as a response to another statement. For example:

(a) The Sox won last night.
(b) Wicked!

As slang, "wicked" more often is an intensifier that is stronger than "very":

(a) Have you seen this new iPhone app?
(b) Wicked cool!

It was common in SE England in the mid to late 90s.
