Visceral Loathing

Visceral hatred is a feeling of intense hatred that is based on emotion rather than logic or reason. It is a feeling that is felt in the gut and is difficult to control or ignore.  Explanation      The word visceral comes from the Latin word viscus, which means "entrails" or "internal organ".   Visceral feelings are intuitive and are often described as "gut feelings".  For example, you might have a visceral reaction to the taste of liver, or the sight of calves brains, or you might have a visceral hatred of magenta-colored foods like beets (I knew someone like this).  Visceral feelings can be so strong that they can lead to long-term patterns of dislike.
