- creepoid63%
Slang for someone or something that is deeply creepy — either as an adjective (that situation was totally creepoid) or as a noun describing a person whose behaviour sets off alarm bells. The '-oid' suffix amplifies the creepiness by making it feel almost alien or inhuman, as though the person operates on a different, unsettling frequency. Common in American slang from the 1980s onward, it fits neatly into the era of B-movie horror vocabulary that gave us terms like 'weirdo' and 'freakoid.'
