Chatterbox #344 – The Ick

from Culips Everyday English Podcast

Have you ever been on a great date, only to suddenly feel completely turned off by something small and unexpected? In this Chatterbox episode, Andrew and Anna talk about "the ick," that sudden feeling of disgust toward someone you're dating. They share their own icks, from almond milk to vocal fry, and look at why these reactions happen. Are they silly snap judgments, or could they actually be rooted in something deeper, like evolution or personal values? Practice using the expressions from this episode in your own conversations, and you'll sound more natural in no time. - Andrew references articles from Time and Psychology Today: in the episode.
