Informal slang meaning sickening or vomit-inducing, applied both literally to nauseating food or smells and figuratively to excessively sentimental, offensive, or revolting content. The figurative use is at least as common as the literal. Often used in pop culture commentary about something that is either too saccharine or genuinely gross. The -worthy suffix frames it as something that has earned its description.
