Horrid

Horrid describes something that is extremely unpleasant, disagreeable, or shocking; causing a feeling of aversion or disgust. It can apply to sensory experiences (smells, tastes), moral character, actions, situations, or even aesthetic qualities. The word often implies a sense of intense negativity, going beyond simply 'bad' to evoke revulsion or strong dislike.
