While i was talking with my japanese friends, that word just came up they could't explain that. Can you tell me what does ドン引き mean?

3Can you read Japanese well? This was the very first google result for ドン引き zokugo-dict.com/20to/donbiki.htm – ssb Feb 8 '13 at 7:09

2Even if you can't read Japanese well, my dictionary gives "talking or acting in such a way as to make those around you draw away". WWWJDIC says "drawing away from someone because of their speech or actions; having the mood ruined". It gives an example sentence, in which ドン引き is translated as "you creeper!". Seems clear to me. – Billy Feb 9 '13 at 15:28
When someone says or does something that you dislike or makes you nervous / uncomfortable, you may withdraw or keep your distance from them. This is donbiki. Rather than actually withdrawing from them, you can express the same by saying donbiki...
