projectile vomits

Violently expels stomach

Projectile vomits means to vomit with such force that the contents travel a significant distance rather than simply falling.

The term emphasizes violent, uncontrolled expulsion: The baby projectile vomited across the room.

Often used hyperbolically to describe any dramatic vomiting episode.
