How it's used
Use this term to describe anything that triggers a visceral sense of revulsion or aesthetic displeasure. It is highly versatile, applying equally to physical filth, poor fashion choices, or even behaviors that are socially cringeworthy. It carries a stronger, more informal punch than simply saying 難睇.
Examples
The style of this shirt is really ugly, I don't want it.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe people's physical features directly to their face, as it is considered quite rude and insulting. It is better suited for objects, situations, or actions rather than personal appearance.
