Words: Not my cup of tea

I'd prefer something else!

Ever been invited to do something that just doesn't appeal to you, something you'd genuinely rather avoid?

How would you describe that feeling of disinterest or preference for something else? It's like it simply doesn't align with your tastes, isn't it?

Think of it this way: You have specific likes and dislikes, and when an activity or a topic falls outside your preferred zone, this idiom perfectly captures that sentiment. It's a polite way of saying "I don't like it" or "I'm not interested."
