icky & iffy

Intro
Hiya, how are you? Would you like to learn two words British native speakers use on a daily basis? Let's go. The first word is 'icky'. If something is icky, it's unpleasant, or even disgusting. The second word is 'iffy'. If you are iffy about something, you're not sure about it. So you can be iffy about buying a new house or getting a job in a different country.
She seems iffy about this idea.
