I am so out of it. It’s back to the Urban Dictionary for me, and pronto!

Considering I first and have only heard it regularly from a 29-year-old anime freak shut-in (yeah, I know, I'd tell him he embodies every bad stereotype imaginable -- but I'm not that mean), I am surprised to hear your kids are using it. But think -- it's a fairly clever, pessimistic pun on "gatorade." I like it. Also, as far as sick goes, it's like "It's *sick* how awesome that car is." I think it mostly just got shortened from constructions like that. Wait till you hear your kids saying "FTW" or "for teh win" (misspelling required). Or any word ending in zor (really, spelled 'z0r'). Then, I imagine, you'll really need to scratch your head. Slang FTW.
