I don't experience the emotion of disgust. I don't know people who experience the emotion of disgust. I'd describe the feeling I get when seeing my cat puke out a meal, followed by her starting to eat that slimy bloody pudding again, as disgust. Just to name an example. Have you really never experienced that? Lucky you I'd say :) Apart from that, i.e. the very literal sense ('dis' is like a negative, 'gust' is taste), disgust also gets used in the sense of morally disliking something profoundly. Again not that uncommon. But I get your point: these days it seems to get used often when it is not very close to the actual meaning. And as such gets hollowed out a bit.
