2. Not in proper condition; impaired: you're a sicko [noun, sorry] because you spend time reading and/or posting messages in The Lounge at MobileRead (or, anywhere else in the forum if you do so while completely nekkid - not even a towel!).
3. Mentally, morally, or emotionally deranged, corrupt, or unsound: a sick mind; c.f. 1, 2

OH darn it - guilty as charged ..

I'm as sick as a grey parrot ...
