Sicko
American medicine critique
A sicko is a person considered mentally disturbed, perverted, or capable of deviant behavior—especially sexual deviance or violence.
The word carries disgust and moral judgment: What kind of sicko would do something like this?
It's informal and dismissive, often used to distance the speaker from behavior they find repugnant.
