Wi-ki

1) adj. Slang

Extremely good, excellent: "That Manfred Mann song is wiki, bruv!".

2) adv. Slang

Used as an intensive: "My pedometer is wiki accurate".

Commonly used multiple times for added effect: "Wiki wiki Wild Wild West".

Etymology

First use of the word wiki is accredited to talented actor, singer and one half of Smith and Jones, Will Smith in his Oscar winning 1999 satirical film and song combination 'Wild Wild West'.

In the early part of the 21st century street youths, tired and unhappy with the effort required to pronounce the two syllables of the word wiki, replaced the spoken word with a simple hand signal (demonstrated below by Paul Merton). This hand signal overcame the complications of speech and the rest is history. Word.
