The Throw Up Thirteen

 

Thirteen Different Ways to Say VOMIT


You know your kids have a loose valve somewhere when you're woken up by the sound of vomit hitting the carpet and your first thought is, "Oh honey, they're playing our song!" (Sadly, I'm not making this up, it just happened at about 3:30 am. Scary.)

So, since we've finished preliminary clean up and gotten Maya situated and using a trash can instead, (with Sage appearing ready to take over where she left off) I thought I'd take some time to post my 13. I figured today would be a good day for euphemisms for the act of throwing up, many of the more colorful ones were found here.

1. Puke
2. Barf
3. Hurl
4. Toss your Cookies
5. Ralph
6. 3-D Burp
7. Doing the Dinner Catch and Release
8. Downloading a Meal
9. Worshipping the Porcelain God
10. Reviewing Today's Menu
11. Round Trip Meal Ticket
12. The Technicolor Yawn
13. Yodeling in the Porcelain Canyon





Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!

Due to the fact that it's looking very likely that I'll spend the day doing follow up on at least one kid's dinner, I may not get back to your comments right away. But, do leave them and I'll get back in the next couple of days! I'd better get back upstairs before the action starts back up, if my spidey sense, honed by years of Horde Vomit experience, is correct, we're only in the eye of the hurricane...

Hope everyone feels better soon.

Wow, what some great phrases! And I hope your kids haven't caught the 24 hour flu bug. We had it a few months ago and it was so bad that we couldn't even keep water down! So, good luck!

Next week I think you should do all the words for "fart." I just heard a new one recently. "Who stepped on a frog?!"

Mine are open for business.

Interesting. I hadn't heard of half of those! But we tend to not talk about Ralphing.

One of our favorites is ahem "Driving the white Buick", but I've always like "spew" as well.

Good luck with the upchuck. HA!

Get well soon.
