ejaculated

Blurted out suddenly

Ejaculated has two meanings that share the idea of sudden expulsion.

The primary sense is to discharge semen during orgasm: He ejaculated prematurely.

The older sense, now mainly literary, means to exclaim suddenly: "Good heavens!" he ejaculated.

This second use appears often in Victorian fiction but sounds archaic or unintentionally comic today.
