Grandkids Slang: 'ick'​

Don't be lost on all the new lingo of the younger generation. We'll help you dissect what they mean and have fun while doing it! For today's ‘What Would The Grandkids Say?’ segment, we're tackling the term ‘ick’. It's used to convey disgust. For example, ‘David got the ick after seeing his date eat so much mayonnaise’. What about you? How would you use ‘ick’ in everyday life? Share it in this thread.
