puking up
Ejecting stomach contents
Puking up is vomiting, with emphasis on expulsion: She spent the night puking up everything she'd eaten.
The "up" reinforces the upward, outward motion of ejecting stomach contents.
Figuratively, to puke up can mean to produce something reluctantly or in poor form: The committee finally puked up a report.
