God-awful means extremely bad or unpleasant. People say it about weather, food, a smell, a song, a film, a long meeting — anything they really cannot stand. It is informal and rather strong. Some Christian people find it offensive because it uses God as a way to make a complaint louder, like a mild curse. Use it with friends, not in church, and not in polite writing. It does not describe God; it only turns awful up to a very high level.
糟透了、爛透了（不敬的加強語；部分基督徒會反感）
組成God + awful. God here is only a strong extra, not a religious claim.
