Lets say there are two snowboarders/surfers. One of said pair catches a huge jump off a cliff/wave, meeting back up with his/her partner after landing the jump perfectly he/she says with a huge smile on his/her face "Dude!! That was Sick!!!" The other replies "Dude!! That was some sick hang time!!!" "Bro I know!!! That was the sickest jump I've landed all year!!!" Just then an onlooker from the beach/chairlift who witnessed the amazing feat yells "He brah(slang for bro, which is slang for brother), you're a sick snowboarder/surfer, that was some sick — dude" The snowboarder/surfer replies "Thanks dude, that was a sick assed jump eh(I put in eh because in my imaginary story these people are in either whistler or tofino.)

I am now concerned that makes perfect sense to me as Canadian English (ok maybe West Coast Canadian English) and I don't even surf or snowboard.
