godawful
Shockingly, irredeemably poor
Godawful means extremely bad, unpleasant, or of terrible quality.
The word intensifies awful with a blasphemous flourish: What a godawful mess, The food was godawful.
Often spelled god-awful.
The tone is casual and emphatic rather than deeply offensive—more exasperation than profanity.
