    Donbiki is a phrase that refers to when people get creeped out or turned off by something. It’s used when something happens or someone says something that makes people feel uncomfortable and don’t know how to react.

    彼が寒い冗談を言ったら皆がドン引きされていた。

    kare ga samui joudan wo ittara mina ga donbiki sareteita.
