puking
Stomach violently emptying
Puking is vomiting—ejecting stomach contents through the mouth.
The word is informal and slightly crude, preferred in casual speech over clinical alternatives: I was up all night puking.
Someone who looks green or unwell might be described as ready to puke.
The sight of something disgusting can make you want to puke.
