Kinkly explains Squick

Many believe that the term squick is actually a combination of the words "squirm" and "ick." It's used when talking about an act that makes one squirm because of the ick-factor. Of course, this is highly personal, as everyone has their own squicks; what turns one person on may squick another. Squick is used in place of the word "disgust" which implies a moral repugnance to an act.
