You mean "toxic" as in toxic substances, etc., meaning "harmful" ?
"Yuugaisei," "chuudokusei," "dokusei," etc. are the words that come to mind,
but those really do sound chemically harmful and dangerous!

Sayoko,

Try "doku" or "yuugai". AK gave you the nouns (toxicity) rather than the adjectives.

give us context 2008/4/13 17:44
By "toxic", doesn't your friend mean "awesome" as in the teenager's term? If so, non of the expressions given will fit the needs. I can't think of an almighty word that is equavelent to "toxic", so if you can give us some context that might help. I mean, "maji-sugee" would sound too un-cool.
