disgusting
Makes you recoil
Disgusting describes something that provokes revulsion or strong distaste—a visceral reaction of wanting to turn away.
The feeling can be physical, as with rotting food or bodily fluids, or moral, as with cruelty or corruption: The conditions in the factory were disgusting.
The word often expresses emphatic disapproval: His behavior at the funeral was disgusting.
