Gross! =  Che Schifo!
Warning...very gross picture.


Originally, Gross meant "big" or "large".  But for the last 40 years (at least) gross has meant Disgusting.

If something makes you want to vomit (throw-up, puke, spew, blow chunks, barf) the you call it "gross"






Conversation Example:

Bob: I ate some used gum I found on the side walk.
     Ho mangiato dello chewing gum trovato per strada.
Jack:  Gross Bob!
 Che Schifo Bob!
     

Stacie: I stepped in Dog poop!
ho pestato la popo di cane.
Bob:  Eww gross, that stinks.
Che Schifo!  Puzza!


Video Example: An injury can be "gross".  

The following video shows a gross injury.
