Onomatopoeia for disgust [duplicate]

Are there any English onomatopoeias for disgust / loathe? What exclamations are commonly used to express repulsion?

Something that could be used like:

(___) dog shit. I loathe it! (some sound here)

… to increase the expressiveness of the sentence?

Solution 1:

The conventional exclamation for disgust is yuck (alternatively, yech); the Macmillan entry says it is

used for saying that you think someone or something is dirty, ugly, or unpleasant

Oh, yuck! It’s slimy!

The earliest OED entry is from 1966, noting an earlier verb sense of yuck meaning to vomit, but it may have existed earlier in dialectic English.

Chris Sunami's suggestion of ew is also a good one.

Somewhat milder is ick, a reaction to something icky. Somewhat stronger is blecch (blech, bleech, etc.), which has not made it into any of the major dictionaries, but is easily found online, and even featured in the title of an episode of The Simpsons. Stronger still is bleah, also imitative of retching or gagging, though OLD labels this as North American.

Other onomatopoeia for vomit or vomiting, like barf or yack or hork may be suitable, but the degree to which these terms is understood will vary greatly by region and generation, and some slang like woof or hurl may thus be ambiguous.

A broader term for something generally unpleasant is ugh, as noted elsewhere, but this is more a term for dislike or disappointment.

Solution 2:

The sound is "ew" --your face naturally contorts into an expression of disgust when you say it. Or alternately, it's the sound you naturally make when your face is in an expression of disgust (contrast with "ooh").

ew: (with as many extra ‘e’s and/or ‘w’s as needed for emphasis)
Expression of disgust or nausea.
Ew! There’s a fly in my soup.
Eww! This peanut butter tastes disgusting!

Solution 3:

I find "gag" to be both descriptive and onomatopoeic. (Merriam-Webster's intransitive sense, though their definition is actually poor, as a true gag is a neurological reflex.)

My teenager is also fond of using a sound like "bleah" (imitating a vomiting noise) to express disgust in an onomatopoeic fashion as in Oxford Living Dictionary Online.

Solution 4:

I would imitate throwing up a little bit in my mouth!

(…) dog shit. I loathe them! Bleurgh

The example given is:

Used to express disgust.
‘bleurgh—just opened the fridge and it smells of gone-off chicken’
‘I can handle gore and everything but show me warts? Bleurgh!’

Its origin matches my assumptions:

Origin

1960s: probably imitative of the sound of gagging or retching.
