Oo: Odious


odious: Adjective (offensive or hateful)

Thisby, the flowers of odious savours sweet-
A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare

When the frog was got in, it hopped at once half the length of the boat, and then over my head, backward and forward, daubing my face and clothes with its odious slime.
Gullivar's Travels Jonathan Swift
