We are looking here for a word that Shakespeare used that means "indecent or repulsive" and one possible candidate is "obscene". He used this word in Henry IV: "thou wh0reson obscene greasy tallow-catch!" where he meant "obscene" to mean repulsive - he was insulting a person. There might also be other examples in other plays!
