revolting
Makes you gag
Revolting describes something that provokes disgust or strong aversion: The smell from the dumpster was revolting.
It applies to physical repulsiveness—rotting food, bodily fluids—and to morally repugnant behavior: His treatment of the staff was revolting.
The word carries more visceral force than merely unpleasant or offensive.
