yucky
Makes you grimace
Yucky describes something disgusting or unpleasant—food that tastes bad, textures that repel, situations that feel wrong: This oatmeal is yucky.
The word is childish or deliberately playful, the kind of thing a toddler says about vegetables or an adult says with ironic exaggeration: Monday meetings are yucky.
