crappy
A colloquial, euphemistic expression for 'Scheiße' (shit/crap), used to express that something is very bad, annoying, or of poor quality. It is used predicatively like an adjective.
Das Wetter heute ist echt Scheibe, es regnet nur.
The weather today is really crappy; it's just raining.
'Scheibe' is a colloquial expression and a euphemistic alternative to the swear word 'Scheiße' (shit/crap). It is used in informal conversations, but not in written language or formal situations.
Mein Computer ist schon wieder kaputt, das ist echt Scheibe!
My computer is broken again; that's really crappy!
This word is used exclusively predicatively, meaning it comes after the noun with a verb like 'sein' (to be) or 'finden' (to find/consider). It is never placed before a noun and is not declined.
Ich finde dieses neue Gesetz einfach nur Scheibe.
I think this new law is just plain crappy.
The expression arose as a euphemism, meaning a 'milder' version. The harmless word 'die Scheibe' (the slice/pane) is used because it sounds similar to the taboo word 'Scheiße' (shit/crap).
Oh Scheibe, ich habe meinen Schlüssel vergessen!
Oh crap, I forgot my key!
bad
'schlecht' and 'Scheibe' can both express that something is not good. 'schlecht' is the normal and neutral word. You can use it in many situations: for quality, results, weather, or performance. 'Scheibe' here is not a normal noun, but a very colloquial, euphemistic expression for something very annoying or very bad. It sounds casual and emotional. In normal conversations, at school, or at work, 'schlecht' is safer. 'Scheibe' only fits in very informal language.
