Synonyms For Barfing

what is the word/phrase you most frequently use to describe barfing? I have heard some damn funny ones in my time, and so I'm just bored and curious.

Personally, I tend to use the word "upchuck."

The funniest phrase I ever heard for upchucking is "holler New York." God, I laughed my ass off the first time someone laid that one on me.

I wasn't going to do this, but I saw you could post it in other languages.
This is Romanian:

"a borî" (roughly: boruh) - "a" is for the infinitive ("to")
Present tense:
eu borăsc (borahsk) - I barf
tu borăşti (borahsht') - you (sing.) barf
el/ea borăşte (borahshte) - he/she barfs
noi borîm (boruhm) - we barf
voi borîţi (boruhtsi) - you (pl.) barf
ei/ele borăsc (borahsk) - they (male/female) barf

It stays the same for the "is barfing" form.

These are rude terms, of course. We usualy have "a vomita" (guess I don't have to explain it) and "a vărsa" (to pour, to leak).

I usualy say "puke"

my 4 year old said "breakfast rewind" once though and I thought it was hilarious.
(you know because when you rewind tapes they show the action backwards)

my 2 year old calls it "bleck"

I swear sometimes that kid is smarter than I am, at 4 she has the vocab of a 11 year old, she will be ready for the second grade next year, being around her makes me want to study a lot.

I am terrified that by the time she is a teenager she really will know more than her parents. :eek:

so far, honorable mentions go to "toilet hugging" and "breakfast rewind"

Those two are the most original, and funny, that I have seen yet on this list.
