Repulsive: to be repulsed. Being so disgusted that you draw back from/are driven back from something because it is so awful.
Onomatopoeia! re-PUL-sive!
When you say the 're' part, you naturally move your mouth/tongue forward from where it normally rests. Then when you say the 'PUL' part, you pull your tongue back till the tip of it is almost touching the bottom of your mouth. The 'sive' part is just fun to tack on.
Repulsive.
Repulsive!
REPULSIVE!!
All in all, repulsive is awfully fun to say and even demonstrates its own meaning through saying it. :) Words are fun!
