sick 1 (s
k)
adj. sick·er,
sick·est 1. a. Suffering from or affected with a physical illness; ailing.
b. Of or for sick persons:
sick wards.
c. Nauseated.
2. a. Mentally ill or disturbed.
b. Unwholesome, morbid, or sadistic:
a sick joke; a sick crime.
I think he qualifies as 'sick' under 2(a) and 2(b).
'Bad taste' is hideous nylon flares.
I'd also find it sick if someone went to a 'bad taste' party dressed as a Holocaust victim...but I suppose some people would find that acceptable, and funny.
