same sense, so one or the other or another word with the same "feel" to it, but not "awful"

: Håller med om att detta är ett bra alternativ, men "Åh sjukhussjuka va läskigt!" känns om ett lika gott alternativ.// läskigt = obehagligt, skrämmande

är det vad ordboken säger att översättningen ska vara för "läbbigt" eller varifrån kommer "läskigt"???

: "läbbig" here has a slightly different connotation to it. More like disgusting.

: Håller inte med Mårten här. "Åh sjukhussjuka va läskigt!" tycker jag fungerar alldeles utmärkt som alternativ till "Åh sjukhussjuka va äckligt!".
