the medical term is vomit or regurgitate , and what you vomit up, is considered emesis, which also seems a likely theory following those lines - good one

Well, I like my final version; but then, I am biased. :)

It's true, yours rules. If one were to create a SRD sentence generator it would have to include:
puissant
putrefication
roiling
prescient
visceral
verdant
argent
vitriol
exigent

I would add percipience, conflagration, and defilement to the list.

DukkhaWaynhim wrote:Retch and vomit carry different meanings anyway.

Vomit means to throw up; speak lunch; give forth a technicolor yawn; blow chunks; chunder; play 'guess what I just ate'; CSI-lunch; meal - the sequel; toss the cookies; take a ride on the v-train; summon the ghost of breakfast past...

Retch means to vomit whether you have stomach contents or not; to vomit air; blow chunks of nothing. Different meaning.

I think vomit, while overused in regular parlance, is the accepted medical term - which is the most logical choice for Linden to access.

Having said all that... he might have also chosen "...disgorge her erst viands." :)

I Bazooka Barfed once, thanks to Subway. It would've been kind of cool, if I hadn't felt like total crap at the time.

I'm actually more used to hearing puke used as a noun.

Oh, it's also a verb! I puke, she pukes, we puke. We will puke, we are puking, we have puked in the past.
