turn-off
Something repelling others
A turn-off is something that causes a loss of interest, enthusiasm, or sexual arousal.
His arrogance was a major turn-off.
The term derives from the verb phrase turn off, which means to extinguish or deactivate something, or figuratively to cause someone to lose interest or become repelled.
A turn-off can also be an exit ramp or side road where you leave a main highway.
Take the next turn-off after the bridge.
