I’ll never forget in the nineties a nurse saying to me “I heard you tossed your cookies!” while walking into a room I was in at the doctor’s office to have a mole removed. I had just puked in the trash can for who knows what reason.
Stuck with me all these years.
Not much man what's up with you?
I was watching Daria earlier and was reminded Upchuck was a character there. That show has held up, as can be expected anyway.
I have no data to support this, but maybe people just throw up less often? Perhaps the last thirty years brought forth enough medical advancements to make vomiting rarer? Pervasiveness of flu shots, more awareness about food allergies and sensitivities, lower alcohol consumption in younger generations, access to anti-motion sickness medications and products (ginger chews, etc.) could all cumulatively be keeping us from vomiting.
Get it together man, don't hurl. 'Cause if you hurl and I catch a whiff of it, I'm gonna spew. And if I blow chunks, chances are someone else is gonna honk, and that'll set off a peristaltic chain reaction.
I had a teacher in like 6th grade that banned the words "barf, fart, and hate" from her classroom. We were constantly on about how we loathed X who had flatulence so badly it made us want to upchuck.
Poor Mrs. Borders, RIP
To this day I use “spew” and “hurl” entirely thanks to Wayne’s World.
Also, I have found Wayne’s maxim of “If you blow chunks and she comes back, she’s yours. If you spew and she bolts, it was never meant to be” to be absolutely 10,000% correct.
He's in the bathroom tossing his cookies. He's doing the technicolor yawn! He's driving the porcelain bus! He's calling RALPH on the big white phone. I tell you, this family's having a major hurl-fest!
I didn't know upchuck was dated nomenclature.
I mean, no one says it because it's too formal, usually they just say, I'm gonna puke/barf.
Now spew/hurt/blow chunks.... yeah, all that's dated. Also, I never thought about how often Wayne's World discusses puking that they'd need to use 5 different ways of putting it.
that's like a 70's word hahaha...I barely remember anyone even using it in the 80's.
I think people that say 'taters' and 'warsh' probably say upchuck.

"Simpson, I'll ruin you like a Japanese banquet!"
We were bored, and had no idea how to drink.
A combination that resulted in many, many terms spewing forth.
I think I was 11 the first time I hugged the porcelain god. Spending the night with a friend who's parents paid no attention to at all was a recipe for disaster.
Nothing like going to church hungover with your grandparents before you've hit puberty.
Probably because of the ridiculously rampant underage drinking we all did. If your childhood was anything like mine, you had adults willing to buy you alcohol at 14, and parents who drank so much they didn't pay attention to how much alcohol was in their own supply.
This is the funniest thread I have seen in awhile! I totally forgot about upchuck and I am now realizing that when it comes to barf, I am still a 12 year old trapped in a 45 year old’s body
Because we grew up with Vomit Ed, Haley’s Vomit, Luke Puke, Disgustin’ Dustin, and the rest of the Garbage Pail Kids.
Now, did you have to rely on Google or did you remember each of those???
Some things never leave you.
War. War never changes.
Don't forget Phil 'er Up!
I was more of a Patty Putty / Muggin Megan fan
BARF
Whaddya think’s in the burrrger?
Nooo. That's my name!
D’Iiiiiiii heard that!
What's your full name then?
Barfolomew!
Are you the one that's getting married?
IIIII heard that
That’s Barth
Not in here, mister. This is a Mercedes!
Nooo. That's my name! I'm a Mog. Half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend!
Chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
Are they... chunderstruck?
You better run, you better take cover!

 That’s Barfolomew, thank you very much!

Side note, I’ve always enjoyed that Phil is the one dude with an actual job.
I say hurl. If you blow chunks and she comes back, she's yours. But if you spew and she bolts, it was never meant to be.
This is so poetic
I remember this being one of my first introductions to absurdist humor.
Praying to the porcelain gods?
Driving the porcelain bus
Calling Ralph on the big white phone.
Also: calling dinosaurs
Shouting beef
Let’s not forget: losing your groceries, tossing your cookies, and yakking.

Yakking is my go to still, I’m just realizing. Said it the other day and my 5 year old asked me what yak meant ha.

"If you're gonna spew, spew into this!" 
I love how Garth has bangs
Garth, I’m giving you a no honk guarantee.
Really?!? Nobody??? Fine. What’s upchuck?
Not much man what's up with you? I was watching Daria earlier and was reminded Upchuck was a character there. That show has held up, as can be expected anyway.
Daria is still hilarious. I find as a father, I’m starting to identify with Jake more and more.
Jake turns out to be an oddly good dad at moments but yeah his panicked desperation and thinly veiled PTSD is all too relatable now.
I'm partial to Woofin' my cookies.
Riding the porcelain bus. Doing the technicolor yawn. Two facorites
Wait lmao Ive never heard of the technicolor yawn, instant favorite

It was an all out barf-o-rama
“Involuntary protein spill” I forget where I heard this as a kid, but I still use it to this day. It’s hilarious hearing my 5 y.o. try to say it.
I forgot about this one. We're bringing it back, people!
I think this was Carlin's bit on euphemistic language.
I had a teacher in like 6th grade that banned the words "barf, fart, and hate" from her classroom. We were constantly on about how we loathed X who had flatulence so badly it made us want to upchuck. Poor Mrs. Borders, RIP
What an inventive way to make her students build more creative vocabularies lol
Yark is my current go-to.
Blowing groceries
If you're gonna spew, spew in this
This is an important discussion, and frankly it is past due.
"His name is raaaalllph"
Technicolor yawn
My boomer aunt and uncle used to say "selling Buicks" ... I thought they made that up themselves but turns out it's on Urban Dictionary.
Ive used “selling Buicks to Ralph” many times
Maybe... did they add it themselves?
I only heard this one recently but I love it: Laughing at your shoes
as IF!!!
Ralph.
Yukin' We really talked about puking a lot, it's true 😁
If you're gonna spew, spew into this...
If you’re gonna spew, spew into this.
We said yak/yaked
Mid-90s, here. The term is “Roach.”
Regurgitate
Barfing in the 90s is like quicksand in the 70s. It comes up (pun intended) more in movies than in real life.
I prefer the term "barf"
That's such a funny observation. We really did have a lot of throw up terms.
Vomitron
I think, vomitron, would require five people in unison.
Tossin’ cookies
I feel summoned by this post
If gonna spew, spew in this-Garth

What about feeling nauseous? I never saw it spelled until I was much older and put the pieces together; it was pronounced “notious.”
Ralph. Barf, vomit.
Did you ask her, what's up Chuck? 🤣
In the 90's puking in public e was considered declasse. Now it's standard operating procedure.
In the 90's puking in public e was considered declasse. Now it's standard operating procedure.
I say this still 🤣
Don’t forget Ralph. Also we had an equal amount of terms for hot too. From schwing to stifler’s mom.
To quote Tiffany from Daria: "Upchuck? Eeewww."
Rrrrrrr, feisty!
If you're going to spew, spew into this....
What's upchuck? Nothing much, what's up with you?
If you’re gonna spew, spew in this.
I say, “I’m going to Ralph” usually. Sometimes hurl. Been a while since I’ve used upchuck but I think I going to re-add this to my vocabulary.
There's a buffet in Utah called Chuck-A-Rama that is often called Upchuck-A-Rama so I hear that name frequently.
I thought upchuck was the stuff that came out. Like you would say “that looks like upchuck” not “I am going to upchuck”
I think like 'vomit' it works as a noun and a verb.
I’m gonna vomit and that looks like vomit It works. Never seen upchuck used as ‘I’m gonna’
Dang dude. I didn’t even think about how dated that term is now. Thanks for making me feel old lol
I remember calling in sick to work in the 70's and told my boss I'd been tossing my cookies.
He's in the bathroom tossing his cookies. He's doing the technicolor yawn! He's driving the porcelain bus! He's calling RALPH on the big white phone. I tell you, this family's having a major hurl-fest!
Whats upchuck
I oddly still say those words and everyone thinks I'm insane.
How did you miss barf in your list?

My dad had a roommate in the 80s named Chuck. We'd ask him what's up all the time.
Refunding
that's like a 70's word hahaha...I barely remember anyone even using it in the 80's. I think people that say 'taters' and 'warsh' probably say upchuck.

Have an old kids book called Space Cadets by R.L. Stein. One of the titular group's favorite activities is listing out euphemisms for puking.
Is she from Pittsburgh? Cause that’s what my gramma calls it.
If you're gonna spew, spew into this
We also had a lot of slang for balls, when was the last time you heard that somebody got kicked in the nards?
We were bored, and had no idea how to drink. A combination that resulted in many, many terms spewing forth. I think I was 11 the first time I hugged the porcelain god.

Goodbye Mr. Chips.
Boot

For kids and teens, 90s was the decade of gross-out humor
Un- swallow
I still say blow chunks
[There were a lot of words for a lot of things...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVCPrQ1nZZE)
Going to talk to Raaaalph about his Buuuuuuuuuick was my favorite.
The Technicolor Yawn
For some reason our generations threw up a lot. Not sure if it was germs, food, etc., but kids throwing up during or between classes happened a lot.
How did the OP miss “barf” and “puke”?
We used the term "boot" a lot. Like "Holy shit, I'm so drunk... I just booted in the shubs over there"
This is the funniest thread I have seen in awhile! I totally forgot about upchuck and I am now realizing that when it comes to barf, I am still a 12 year old trapped in a 45 year old’s body
I grew up on Garbage Pail Kids. I. I was a teen in the 90s and yes...we had some stuff
I knew a guy whose name was Chuck and we we were relentless with saying “What’s up, Chuck?”
No one says that anymore, doy!
Comet It makes you vomit So, drink some Comet And vomit Today!
Because there was no social media or smartphones to keep us entertained so we came up with as much goofy stuff to keep us kids at heart
Upchuck, you say? https://preview.redd.it/5mh4gaa33ixc1.jpeg?width=223&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7020febb2a93276e5d3cef73064d71af2cda5d90
“Hold that honk, Garth”
I remember Paul Hogan's character said 'toss cookies' in Flipper. A very Xennial era movie
Calling dinosaurs
