distastes
Feelings of revulsion
Distastes is the plural of distaste, meaning feelings of dislike or aversion.
Where a single distaste is a general disinclination toward something, distastes usually refers to multiple specific aversions: Her distastes included small talk and cheap wine.
The word is uncommon—most contexts use the singular or substitute dislikes.
