Erky is Australian slang for something gross, yucky, or just deeply off-putting — the kind of word that sounds slightly squeamish itself. It's casual and conversational, perfectly suited to reactions like pulling a face at weird food or a messy situation. Sits comfortably alongside 'icky' and 'gross' in the vocabulary of everyday disgust.
(AU, colloquial) Yucky, icky, repulsive.
