it's raining cats and idioms

 
It's not my cup of tea

 
Examples:

"David, would you like to go ice-skating tomorrow evening
with me?" asked Mary.

"To be honest, Mary, ice-skating's not really my cup of tea.
Would you like to go to the cinema instead?"

 
Use:

If something isn't your cup of tea then you don't like it.
It's often used with 'really' which acts as a softener.

- It's not my cup of tea = I don't like it
- It's not really my cup of tea = I don't like it very much
