unbibiumWhen the Wayne's World movies came out, they introduced to the English language many synonyms for the act of vomiting.
Hurl, blow chunks, spew, etc. Very colorful. Monosyllabic, even, so there's no excuse not to use them if you're sick of the word "puke" or "barf".
I haven't heard any of them in years.
In fact, even back in the 90's, I'd try to use them and it didn't come naturally. Then my mom used "hurl" once and that was the end of that.
What just happened?
