projectile vomit
Forceful stomach ejection
Projectile vomit is vomit expelled with unusual force, traveling some distance from the body rather than dribbling out.
The phrase emphasizes violence and volume: The baby projectile vomited across the room.
As a verb, to projectile vomit is to vomit this way.
The image is memorable enough that people use it for emphasis even when the actual event was less dramatic.
