I'm trying to think of a word

Loathing was the first thing that sprang to mind but it doesn't sound right. It feels like there's too much emphasis on hatred.

But there might not be a single word that more appropriately describes it.
 
Contempt?

Hmm, that's the first word that came into my head when I read the OP too. Not strong enough, and I kept hearing "contempt of court", "hold you in contempt" and "I have nothing but contempt for you" in my head which didn't cut el mustard.
 
Have you just had Dirty sex with your car ?
Not that it's any of your business but there was nothing dirty about it!


I think revulsion might've been the word I was looking for. I'm not entirely sure. Thanks for the replies (repulse put me on the right track, I think).
 
Now, if only there was some invention which could aid you in your plight. Perhaps some collection of words, definitions and synonyms. Yes, that would definitely be of some assistance.

If only...
