Seven Days of Euphemisms (day 3)

Ah, the time honored pastime of coming up with new names for vomiting. I'm not quite sure why we have come up with new names for it (perhaps ashamed of the behavior that led to it?).

Anyways, here goes:

Ralph
Blow Chunks
Toss Chunks
Blow Cookies
Toss Cookies
Drive the Porcelain Bus
Pray to the Porcelain God
Heaving
Velching (the belch that is almost a vomit)
Hurl
Retch
Spew
Puke
Upchuck
Barf
Spit up (let's face it, a baby vomits A LOT)
Throw up
Regurgitate (technically a medical term but I thought I would throw it it)
Urp (ever the onomatopoetic)
Be sick

and the tragically popular...

"My diet."
