I'm really surprised a bunch of you aren't familiar with "hosie". It was a very common word throughout my childhood anyway. Also the title of this post uses "wicked" incorrectly—we only use it as an adverb ("wicked stupid", "wicked awesome") and not as an adjective ("that's wicked!"). (r/massachusetts)
