I was going to say, "See you later alligator" as something one does not hear anymore........

However, your word "skeeve" was one we heard used often in our teens down in Jersey.......haven't heard that word used since the 1960's.

(verb) to gross out; to digust; to make your skin crawl

Grossed out, disgusted, to get a sketchy feeling about a situation.

Originates from the Italian word "schifo" which means disgust.

It really skeeved me out when he ate the gummy bear off the floor in the movie theater.
or
Twenty-year-old guys who date girls too young to drive really skeeve me out.
