This is directly from American Heritage dictionary: "Very annoying or objectionable; offensive or odious: "I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution" (Ulysses S. Grant). "
There are several good online dictionaries, so i suggest you put a couple of them into your favorites/bookmarks.
