to make someone feel very disgusted · to be repulsive
Imagine something so gross or morally wrong that it makes you feel sick to your stomach. 🤢 That's exactly when you'd use 'to turn one's stomach'! It's not just about literal nausea; it can also describe a deep sense of moral repulsion or disgust. 😠
💡 **Grammar heads up!** This expression typically uses a possessive pronoun before 'stomach' (my, his, her, their, your). For example, 'The smell turned *my* stomach.' Or 'The injustice of it all turned *their* stomachs.' It's a powerful way to express strong negative feelings!
When would you most appropriately use the expression 'to turn one's stomach'? A. 😄 When you hear a really funny joke. B. 🤮 When you see a very graphic and disturbing scene in a movie. C. 🥳 When you are celebrating a friend's birthday party.
