Weird out, Gross out & Freak out

You all probably know freak out, I'm sure. But the other two may not be as popular for non-native speakers. The meanings are similar to the original adjective form but used as a verb. So if something weirds you out it makes you feel weird. The same goes for 'gross out', so think of eating tripe! doesn't that gross you out!?

1) I'm sorry I got all weirded out last night when I met your parents!

2) I don't like to talk about blood. It just grosses me out.

3) Would it weird you out if I slept naked on the couch?

4) It really grossed me out when I saw you eat that raw lobster.
