What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, everybody, and welcome to Chatterbox, the QLIPP series for intermediate to advanced English learners, where we pick a really interesting topic and we have a conversation about it. In Chatterbox, in the past, we've covered everything from technology and business to pop culture and relationships. And I think today's topic is one that's going to really resonate with many of you. And I hope you'll find it as fun as I did. By the way, my name's Andrew. And in just a second, I'll be joined by my co-host, Anna. And in today's conversation, we're going to be talking about the ick. The ick. If you haven't heard about the ick before, basically it's just the feeling where someone you were into suddenly does something and because of that, you're just totally put off by them.
And the weird thing is, it's usually something that's really small that causes it. Maybe it's the way they laugh or a word they keep saying, or even maybe the way they eat. So Anna and I are going to talk about everything related to the ick in just a moment.

And here's our conversation about the ick.
What is the ick and why does it happen?
Hope you enjoy it. And joining me now to talk all about the ick is my co-host Anna. Anna, how's it going today?
Really well, thank you, Andrew. What about yourself?
I'm doing really well as well. Anna, we always record on Fridays. That is like our regular recording time is Fridays. So yeah, we're probably always in good moods on Fridays. You're right. It's better than recording like on Monday, right?
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. Friday feeling and all that. Definitely.
Yeah. So today we are going to talk about the ick. And Anna, you introduced this to me just before we started recording. You gave a really good background and breakdown of it. So maybe you could do that for our listeners as well. Could you tell us what we mean by the ick?
Absolutely. I guess I'll start with the definition and then I will explain a little bit about how the ick came to life again recently. The ick is defined as something within a romantic context. It's something that somebody does that all of a sudden makes you not like that person.
