@Kulota yes so in this case he was saying disgusting as cool you are correct. It’s rarely ever used but in this scenario it’s another way of saying something was really, really, really cool or fun. Just like if you were to say “that was sick”, it would mean the same thing. It’s not technically correct but it’s funny 😂

@Kulota
Disguise is a word for a costume used to hide the identity of yourself
If I didn’t want you to know who I was while at a business meeting
I could disguise myself by dying my hair and wearing a mask
Or I could disguise myself at an anime convention by wearing a body suit of a character so I could not be seen
The word itself can carry a “cool” sounding tone like a detective or undercover cop but it really is just something that hides identity it can be a costume or just a change of hair color

@Kulota hmmm not really, although I can’t say I’ve never heard someone use it before! ‘Sick’ or ‘dope’ is more likely used to replace the word “cool”

I would not use disgusting to mean "cool." It sounds very unnatural to most English speakers. Others are right. "Sick" is more common and natural.
"That roller coaster was sick!" (Meaning that it was amazing).
