skeeve out
Make skin crawl
To skeeve out is to disgust or creep out, or to be disgusted or creeped out: That guy totally skeeved me out, I'm skeeved out by the mold in the fridge.
The word carries a visceral sense of revulsion—not just dislike but physical unease.
Originally northeastern U.S. slang, now more widespread.
