Totally off the subject; I'm just a word junky. I have never seen this phrase before. Is it akin to "grossed out"? I love reading the history and origins of words and phrases; what will be the story of this one?

It's more like it weirded me out.

Comes from “sketchy”, which means “weird”, but also “suspicious”. It’s a very common phrase, especially among younger people.

Well that explains it! I'm 58. But I still feel young. Well, young-ish.
Thanks!
