How it's used
This expression acts as an extreme intensifier for negative qualities, implying that the person or situation is so bad that it is unique or incomparable. It is often used to express strong disapproval or frustration with someone's character or the quality of a service. While it can be used for people, it is equally common when complaining about bad luck or poor experiences.
Examples
He is incredibly nasty, always lying to people.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe something that is merely 'bad' or 'unpleasant', as it carries a very strong, hyperbolic tone. It is strictly for situations where the behavior or quality is truly egregious.
