Xul
Originally a Sumerian adjective used to denote "evil" or "great," it has made its way into modern popular culture via books such as Simon's "Necronomicon" and developed into a term for "bad in a cool kind of way" or "cool in a baaaaad kind of way." It is synonymous with the street version of "bad" meaning favorable or exceptional. Also, "more cool than cool" and subsequently difficult for the unenlightened to pronounce.
The "X" is intoned as an exaggerated German or Arab CH, as in "Achmed."
