What does "to skeeve out" mean in casual slang?
It is used to describe causing feelings of unease or revulsion, often in response to something creepy, gross, or uncomfortable. People typically say "That guy skeeves me out" or "I'm totally skeeved out by this place." The term originated in American slang during the 1980s, borrowed from Italian American communities where "schifo" means disgust, and later spread through youth culture, films, and casual conversation.
Examples
