Skeeve : To totally dislike something, to be disgusted. "I skeeve that" or "I'm skeeved by him".

A gross person can also be called a "skeeve" or a "skevoose".

From the Italian "mi fa schifo" meaning "it makes me sick" and/or "schifoso", meaning "disgusting".

From Dictionary.com (anyone who comes from Brooklyn, N.Y.C. or Jersey has heard it.

[skeev] Slang.

Also, skeever. an immoral or repulsive person.

verb (used with object)

Skeevy........he is "skeevy"

Heard it all during our teenaged years. It was a common slang word.
