[QUOTE=Eve] Can’t you bozos even deal with _slang?_ What would the English language _be_ unless the scrapers came up with some new words every so often? Buncha weak sisters, that’s whatcha are. [/QUOTE] Slang is good and all, but what do you mean by scraper? I thought [scrapers](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=scraper) were what folks in the Bay called pimped-out Oldsmobiles or Buicks from the late '80s. ---

[QUOTE=Paul in Saudi] Which one means ‘It creeps me out?’ "Squick?’ I always confuse the two. [/QUOTE] Yes. Think of “squick” as onomatopoetic for the sound a leprous testicle makes as it drops into a bog of sewage. You’re welcome. ---

[QUOTE=BMax] I thought squicking was popping the eye out of a head and copulating with the ocular socket. “Skull fucking”, if you will. [/QUOTE] Certainly from an observer’s point of view that works. It’s not aggressive enough to be the skull-fucker’s feelings, nor victimizing enough to be those of the skull-fuckee, IMHO. It’s just communicates a generalized feeling of ickiness. ---

Squick is an onomatopoetic for stepping in a large pile of vomit with bare feet. ---

Someday I’ll see a post that uses (without irony) both “squee!” and “foodie”. Then I’ll have to reconsider my feelings regarding the extinction of the human race. ---

All you poor, misguided souls. A [squee](http://www.myst5.com/images/exilegallery/wild_squee.jpg) is clearly some sort of creature from the J’nanin age in Myst:Exile. ---

[QUOTE=Taber] [Squee](http://ww2.wizards.com/Gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name=squee,_goblin_nabob) means you can play Masticore and still draw cards. [/QUOTE] Yes, but Squee would rather be [playing with his toy](http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=4629), or [hugging a hot chick](http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=26785). Discarding [Squee](http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=19716) to a [Masticore](http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetailsV2.aspx?name=masticore) over and over will get you on Squee’s shit list, which is no good when he decides to get [his revenge](http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=26831).

[QUOTE=Ice Wolf] … but … not something I’d use. Unless it was the sound effect for something cute and furry being stepped on.
