dégueulasse

disgusting, filthy

adjective deh-guh-LAHS Less Common

Usage Note

dégueulasse is a very colloquial, mildly vulgar term for anything revolting — food, behaviour, or weather. It is invariable in form (same for masculine and feminine). Learners should note it is firmly in the informal register; dégoûtant is the neutral equivalent for polite contexts.

Examples

"Ce repas est vraiment dégueulasse."

Natural Translation
