Cool, awesome, impressive. Has been slang since the 90s and refuses to die. Currently in its third or fourth life cycle. The cockroach of slang — it will outlive us all.
Translation for Parents
It means cool. It meant cool when you were a kid. It means cool now. It will mean cool when your grandkids are born. 'Sick' is the slang equivalent of a Nokia phone — indestructible.
