blegh

Sound of distaste

Blegh is a written representation of a sound expressing disgust, exhaustion, or general displeasure—somewhere between a groan and a gag.

It conveys that something is unpleasant or that the speaker feels awful: Blegh, I have to work tomorrow.

The spelling varies (bleh, blech), but blegh suggests a more guttural, dramatic delivery.
