Hi,
"It really disgusts/off-puts me."
Are these two verbs on par with each other or is one of them stronger than the other?
Thanks!
I should have used "put off" or "turn off". So how do those compare to "disgust"?"Off-put" is not really a verb.

You can use 'off-putting' for disgusting.
I'd call a turn-off something stronger than Mike suggests. "He really turns me off" suggests that he disgusts you in some way, not that you are simply not interested in him.
