grody

Repulsive, like, totally

Grody is slang meaning disgusting, gross, or repulsive.

It emerged from California surfer and Valley Girl culture in the 1970s and 1980s, often intensified as grody to the max.

The word typically describes something physically revolting or socially unacceptable: The bathroom at that gas station was totally grody.

Though it peaked in popularity decades ago, grody persists as a deliberately retro or playful way to express disgust.
