barf
Lose your lunch
Barf is informal American English for vomit, used as both verb and noun: I think I'm going to barf, There was barf all over the backseat.
The word sounds slightly childish or comedic compared to clinical alternatives.
Figuratively, something that makes you want to barf is disgusting or contemptible: His excuses made me want to barf.
