'cool' and 'wicked' do not violate the rules of grammar or logic. I'm not too sure about 'it's well good' (which I like, but don't use) but have a fondness for 'magic', which struck me as a brilliant way of conveying delight and enjoyment. I don't suppose anyone remembers bazzing'? The context and the subtlety (and maybe as said, the age range) are all important.
