puker

One who retches

A puker is someone who vomits, or someone prone to vomiting: The roller coaster always produces a few pukers.

The word often carries mild contempt, suggesting weakness or lack of control: Don't be such a puker—it's just a bumpy road.

Also used for anything that induces vomiting: That movie was a real puker.
