    To loathe someone or something is to hate them very much — a strong, lasting dislike, not a small “I don’t fancy it”. You can loathe a food, a smell, a job, a kind of behaviour, or a person. “I loathe getting up early” is ordinary and a bit dramatic in a human way; “she loathed him” is heavier.
