I have no clue.......but I assume it means something like WOW.
When we first moved to Vermont in 1970, we heard all types of new phrases which we'd never ever heard before........such as "wicked", "wicked good", etc.
Each region has its own peculiarities in speech.........
(After I typed this and posted it, I recalled the gal from North Carolina who always told me with a smile that her little boys, ages two and four, were "wicked" or "wicked good" so I did hear it prior to moving to Vermont.
But up here it was used quiete often by the locals.........I soon learned that wicked meant good.......I guess????)
