squicked
Made to cringe
Squicked is internet slang meaning viscerally disgusted or unsettled, especially by something that disturbs on a personal level rather than being objectively wrong: The age gap in that relationship squicks me.
The word originated in online fan communities to describe content that triggers a strong "ick" reaction without moral judgment—something can squick you without being unethical.
The noun squick refers to the feeling itself or the thing that triggers it.
