could you sort the verbs dealing with hatred by the intensity of the feeling? 1. I hate it 2. I disdain it 3. I loathe it 4. I can't stand it are all of the above said in a casual conversation?

Hi there Weakest to strongest - I hate it - I loathe it - I can't stand it! Disdain is slightly different - it shows contempt, 'looking down on it', disrespect as Michael says - so you wouldn't use it in the same way. I hate broccoli I loathe bananas I can't stand seafood I HAVE disdain for people who lie
