TikTok has ruined the meaning of The Ick by people labelling Deal Breakers, Pet Peeves, Turn Offs and Red Flags. The ick is an epiphany, a gut instinct, a wake-up call telling you to get out of a relationship. The misuse makes this visceral word lose its power. It's not petty and it's important to listen to it, don't deny your feelings.
"We were at a date and he sneezed without shielding it. Some droplets of snot hanged viscously from his nose. I wanted to throw up then and there, break up with him and leave him."
"That little thing really tells a lot about his character. You got the "The Ick". "The Ick" opened up your eyes to reality and stopped you before you made a big mistake."
