As she turns her head to lovingly gaze at her boyfriend, local woman Willow Elsher [26] is hit with her first ever ‘ick.’
A term much discussed on social media platforms, the ‘ick’ refers to a moment where the rose coloured glasses come off for the first time, and is a sudden feeling of disgust that can temporarily override attraction – or even result in killing the relationship entirely.
This is something as simple as seeing your partner’s bum crack for the first time, hearing them make weird smacking noises when eating, or in Willow’s case, seeing the utter disrespect her boyfriend Mason has for books.
It’s alleged the couple were sitting in Willow’s room having some introvert wind down time before bed, when Mason had pulled out a book from his backpack and proceeded to read, not knowing that he was committing a cardinal sin – bending the book spine back further than Gwen Stacy falling to her death in The Amazing Spider-man 2.
“What the fuck are you doing?”, Willow had asked, looking at Mason in absolute horror.
“What do you mean?”, he’d answered, genuinely oblivious.
“YOU CAN’T HOLD THE SPINE LIKE THAT.”
“GET OUT!”
More to come.
