What euphemisms do you use for vomiting?

The word vomit is seldom used (at least where I live) and is instead euphemised into something else. Are any on the list below ones you use?

they	posted 24-Dec-2004 5:26pm Some of these are hilarious! I say vomit, puke, throw-up(which is missing?), barf, occasionally I say hurl... My daughter calls it 'blecking up'

caviartaste	posted 24-Dec-2004 5:56pm Upchuck, Barf, Hurl, Puking, Blowing Biscuits, Blowing Chunks, Driving the Porcelain Bus, Worshipping the porcelain goddess, Technicolor Yawn, and Kneeling to Pray,...oh and Wretching, Heaving, and Yakking!!
Enheduanna	posted 24-Dec-2004 6:28pm Puke or throw up. Amazingly, I sometimes even say vomit.
Iseult	posted 24-Dec-2004 6:58pm I always say throw up. Barf sounds nasty and I never associated 'hurl' with the act of vomiting ('and hurled the little streets upon the great').
Sahndya	posted 24-Dec-2004 11:29pm Barfing, hurling, or puking, if I have to put it into words. I hadn't even heard of some of those options!

thevelvetcure	posted 25-Dec-2004 12:12pm Vomit, Puke, and Praying to the porcelain god
juliw	posted 25-Dec-2004 4:42pm throwing up. To be honest with you, though, I don't often bring vomiting into conversation because it's gross!
MacGregor	posted 25-Dec-2004 6:32pm Several of these, plus just plain "ralph". Nice survey around the holidays when many of us are overeating.
romkey	posted 26-Dec-2004 4:51pm I don't... I think I just tend to say "throwing up"... or "puke"... which I don't think is a euphemism.
gambler	posted 26-Dec-2004 6:30pm Throwing up
BerrieGrrl	posted 27-Dec-2004 12:09am i guess i just say puke. but eeeewwww to many of these options!
Maarten	posted 27-Dec-2004 3:45am Kotsen.
bill	posted 27-Dec-2004 9:20am Shakespeare used "puking"
freebird	posted 27-Dec-2004 6:36pm er...uh... I did not know there were so many ways to express this. I just say PUKE!!
Zang	posted 27-Dec-2004 8:21pm In approximate order of use, I tend to say: 1. Spew 2. Vomit 3. Ralf 4. Puke 5. Barf 6. Hurl
Biggles	posted 1-Jan-2005 1:13pm Puking or seeing the last food eaten in reverse (i.e. "I just saw reverse birthday cake")
cerealkiller	posted 1-Jan-2005 7:36pm I never do this, never heard of most of these terms. How about plain old "throwing up"?
Tazwert	(reply to Biggles) posted 2-Jan-2005 1:01am > Puking or seeing the last food eaten in reverse (i.e. "I just saw > reverse birthday cake") Reverse birthday cake.... That's Funny!!
icurok	posted 14-Jan-2005 5:14am Of the ones listed I use puke mostly. I am familiar with Barf, Chuck Up, Hurl and The Technicolour Yawn.For some strange reason. I've always thought that "Driving the Porcelain Bus" meant something else.
Irene007	(reply to freebird) posted 17-Jan-2005 1:36am > er...uh... I did not know there were so many ways to express this. > I just say PUKE!! Hey! Maria!! Where have you been lately? What are you up to? Seems like I don't see you around as much lately...
RaveDevil	posted 17-Jan-2005 11:42am Puking is about the extent of my euphemisms.
ThatsAll	posted 7-Feb-2008 6:56pm how about "meal remix" or "Liquid Launch"?
ThatsAll	(reply to ThatsAll) posted 7-Feb-2008 6:58pm or even projectile bowl painting?
aura	posted 13-Apr-2012 10:40am Shouting groceries.
