An expression indicating that when you think of a certain action you start to feel physically sick (like you need to vomit) , etc. It might be used in many situations. For example, if you are afraid of heights, the thought of jumping out of a plane might "turn your stomach." The thought of eating certain foods, like live, baby octopus, raw fish, or monkey brains, might "turn your stomach." Or it may be something that would upset you emotionally... The thought of your wife having an affair with another man might "turn your stomach," or if you hear of a terrorist attack at a shopping mall, and then realize a loved one was planning on shopping at that location, and you haven't heard from him or her, the thought of them possibly being involved in the attack might "turn your stomach."
