That made me viscerally sick.

So it caused you to be physically ill, such as lightheadedness or vomiting?

Why is that so hard to believe? Some people do feel ill when reading about vile and disgusting circumstances and situations.

I dunno. I know it's a common literary device, but it's never actually happened to me or anyone I know.

I objected to the original comment because it seemed like exaggeration, which suggests bandwagon jumping for bandwagon jumping's sake, which isn't healthy for the greater issue.

If you're such a wilting flower that rude talk from 25 years ago makes you physically sick you'll never amount to much in life.
