skeeving
Creeped out badly
Skeeving is feeling intense disgust or revulsion, particularly toward something perceived as dirty, creepy, or unsettling: That guy at the bar was totally skeeving me out.
The word comes from Italian-American slang and appears most often in the phrase skeeve out or as the adjective skeevy, meaning gross or creepy.
To have a skeeve about something is to find it repulsive: I have a skeeve about public restrooms.
