grossing out

Making someone nauseated

Grossing out is causing or experiencing intense disgust, typically through something revolting to the senses: The dissection was grossing everyone out.

The reaction is visceral—a queasy stomach, a grimace, an urge to look away.

Someone can gross you out, or you can gross out on your own when confronted with something nauseating.
