Hello amigos!

Tom tried to chat my sister up, What a creep!!!

What does it mean? Was it so daring of him?

Default Re: What a creep?!

Ola Sam,

A creep is somebody who makes another person feel uncomfortable.

Your example is perfect, as the word is almost exclusively used to describe a man who approaches (and tries to chat up) women, regardless of the fact that his attention is not wanted.

I'm not a teacher.
