Well, it’s been a crazy last week of school doing papers and getting ready for finals, but I just thought I had to get on here and write something. And I had a discussion at fhe on Monday about all the ways we have in English to say “throw up” (as a verb). This was what we could think of:
Hurl
Spew
Throw up
Vomit
Retch
Puke
Barf
Toss your cookies
Lose your lunch
Ralf( or Ralph,there was some dissent on the spelling)
Pray to the porcelain god
Be sick
Yak(Yack?)
Upchuck/chuckup
Blow chunks
Heave
Blecking up
Blowing biscuits
I had heard all but “blecking up” and “blowing biscuits” before. After this discussion I went home and looked online, let me tell you there are tons more. My personal favorite is “yelling at the bushes”, the imagery is just incredible. But most that I found just weren’t that great. Lemme know if you can think of some more good expressions. I wonder why we have so many? Korean only has one or two. I guess that's why English is great. Also, I think "yak" is an animal,and so "yack" is probably the right way to spell it in this context...but I was the only one who thought that way.
