It's not really the word "wicked" but its usage and meaning that are peculiar to the Boston dialect.

Hardly a port, it has one (on the river), but more agricultaral than coastal (look at the map......)

It most definitely has an ocean port with a lot of landfill. Been to it by boat, car, plane and train enough times. Seen all sorts of maps, charts, satellite photos and aerial views.

It has a tiny port but there's no way I would describe it as a port town - it's hardly a defining feature

Boston! Looking for a sweep of the championships this year. Celts have a good chance. Bruins are in it, but it will be tough to take down the Lighting.

The Bruins need secondary scoring to win a Cup. That first line is dynamite, but after that, it falls off pretty quick.

Can you clarify the "it" in the Harvard question? I thought the antecedent for "it" was the discipline because "what" is the only singular noun in the sentence, so I picked psychology because it developed later than the others. I did not think "religion" could be the answer because religion existed long before Harvard, so students could not study religion during its first year of existence. The question as phrased is incorrect because "Harvard" is being used as an adjective, so it can't be the antecedent of "its." If you just changed "its" to "the school's," then the question would be correct.

Why? He died 60 years ago. To your average person he's probably best known for dying and that's it
