- 1噁心的、髒兮兮的（很口語、偏童語）。也可以說天氣或身體「yucky」＝濕悶不舒服／有點不舒服。
Yucky is the adjective that goes with . It describes a thing that disgusts you: yucky food, a yucky smell, yucky green water in a vase of dead flowers.
The word sounds like a child, and that is its real character. Small children say it about vegetables. Adults use it , or when talking to children, or lightly about something unpleasant. Because of that, it is warmer and softer than the strong adult word disgusting — yucky almost sounds . "Take off those yucky socks" is not really an attack.
It does stretch a little past the physical. People say a yucky day for grey, damp weather, or say they feel yucky when they are slightly ill — not properly sick, just off, heavy, not right. That is a common and useful use.
Keep it out of formal writing. In a report or an essay, use unpleasant or instead.
組成yuck + -y. The ending -y is the ordinary English way of turning a thing into a describing word: dirt → dirty, mess → messy, yuck → yucky.
