/Sounds like 'MOR-boh'/
That dark, twisted attraction to things that should repel you — the morbid curiosity that makes you slow down at an accident or read every detail of a disturbing story. In Spain, morbo is also sexual chemistry with an edge of the forbidden. It's not quite wrong, but it's definitely not innocent.
"Le da morbo ver documentales de crimen. → "He gets a morbid thrill from watching true crime documentaries."
"Entre ellos hay mucho morbo, se nota la tensión. → "There's a lot of charged tension between them — you can feel it."
