You could be on the chirpse with a guy or girl, everything seems to be going fine.. you THINK you like them but then you suddenly catch 'The Ick'. From then on you can't look at the person in the same way, you just progressively get more and more turned off by them, weirdly & maybe for no reason in particular grossed out by them. You'll cringeeeeee at the thought of you and them together. Nothing will be the same, you won't be able to do it any longer and eventually have to cut it off.- Ideology curtesy of Olivia from Love Island:)
Olivia: Sam's a really nice guy, such a happy boy so full of light. Thought i kinda fancied him, but i've caught 'The Ick' and I can't knock it off. Once you've caught it, it takes over body. Can't do it anymore...

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."
