An exclamation meaning ‘ew’ or ‘yuck.’
Its etymology is likely derived from similar sounding Scandinavian words, so it is mostly commonly found in US communities where immigrants from those countries settled, like Western New York (specifically Jamestown and Chautauqua county), Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

Get the ishmug. This trend is thought to have originated in a small town in Maine in late 2010. It is described as one who listens to hardcore/indie/punk/emo/rock music, and can certainly rock the pink fishnet tights with chuck taylors. One tends to wear dark make-up, black nail polish, lots of pink and black bracelets, as well as a black and pink skull wrist watch. One tends to wear dark clothing, typically band tee shirts or black hooter shirts. Those who abide by this hardcore-ish trend tend to have a wild and crazy side, as well as plenty of spontaneity, and can also be called a bad-ass. They tend to take random drunken trips to Boston at 3:00 in the morning, and choose asshole boyfriends. Their mistakes are never ending and seem to follow them wherever they go. However, hardcore-ish people tend to see life as as one big playground, and strive every day to have the time of their lives.
