yuckiness
State of revulsion
Yuckiness is the quality of being yucky—disgusting, unpleasant, or revolting.
The word belongs to informal registers, often appearing in contexts involving children or when adults adopt a playful tone: The yuckiness of the cafeteria food was legendary.
It can describe physical disgust or more abstract unpleasantness: the general yuckiness of the situation.
