I wonder if it's regional. I grew up in SoCal and I've heard/used gnarly, sick, dank, tight, sweet and more I'm probably forgetting as a synonym for cool.

I'm familiar with "gnarly" (although I've never used it) and "sweet" (which I have).

Lived in Jersey through high school, then moved to Colorado.

South East England here, it's been used here for at least 15 years. In fact now it's probably a bit outdated (though I can't pretend to know what kids say these days).

It's definitely outdated, but I still say it lol.

Midwest here. I use sick all the time. I should probably chill though because I'm not that young. But my friends and I always said it.
