grosses out
Makes someone nauseated
To gross out is to disgust or nauseate, especially through something revolting or repulsive: The dissection grossed me out.
The phrase emerged from youth slang in the mid-20th century.
Something that grosses you out triggers physical revulsion—slimy textures, foul smells, graphic injuries.
Blood and guts don't gross her out anymore.
