detests
Cannot stomach it
Detests is the third-person singular of detest, meaning to hate intensely or regard with strong aversion: She detests hypocrisy.
The word carries more weight than simple dislike—it suggests deep, visceral rejection of something or someone: He detests everything about his commute.
