Can you translate what he's saying in this video?

Question:


It's a scene from an anime, and a boy is saying something. I'm wondering what he's saying, and doubt the subtitle is correct. So I need a translation made by a native/fluent speaker.

Answer:


hitomebore to iuno wa monosugoku iikagen na kotoba dato omou
「一目ぼれ」というのは、ものすごくいい加減な言葉だと思う。
(subtitle) "I think "love at first sight" is an extremely meaningless phrase."

"iikagen" usually means "irresponsible", but it depends on how the speaker says after this.
could also mean "not reasonable" "corny" "cliche", so for him it might be "meaningless"

"kotoba" is word/wording/expression, not a "phrase"
