A single word: “abstain”/“forgo” , although these don’t express personal dislike. “Eschew” describes the shunning of something so might be more suitable. Since you’re using only one word, you might get some follow up questions:
“I eschew gnome”.
“Dude wtf does “eschew” mean and why are you such a poser? Oh really? Why’s that then?”






I remember my English teacher telling me the word “set” was the worst example of this, with over 200 definitions in the unabridged Oxford dictionary.
