The ultimate compendium of hilarious, horrifying and cringe-worthy dating interactions You’ve felt it before: that moment when a potential romantic partner does or says something that immediately becomes an instant turnoff. When that happens, you've caught "the ick." You’re not alone. The Icktionary is an A-Z of over 175 real-life cases of some of the most attraction-killing behaviour out there.
Prime offenders include: - A guy who won’t eat polenta because it sounds too much like placenta - A girl who owns 30 stuffed animals and kisses every single one of them goodnight before she goes to sleep - A guy who gets his mother to cut his fingernails - A guy who ‘doesn’t really believe in’ brushing his teeth Based on the popular Instagram, @SubmitYourIck, and featuring fan-favourite submissions and new entries you’ll wish you could unsee, The Icktionary is a dictionary of dating rock bottoms, turning the internet’s most unromantic romantic confessions into the best type of second-hand embarrassment.
