Zhèzhǒng ēyúfèngchéng de huà tīng le lìngrén-zuò'ǒu.
This kind of fawning flattery is sickening to hear.
Tips
usage
Used both literally (bad smells, food, gore) and figuratively (hypocrisy, flattery, moral disgust). The figurative sense is far more common in writing.
register
Strong negative judgment - closer to English 'sickening' than 'gross'. Don't use it lightly; the speaker is signaling real contempt.
