regurgitate
Eject from stomach
Regurgitate means to bring swallowed food back up through the mouth.
Some birds regurgitate to feed their young.
Extended to mental content, it means to repeat information without processing or understanding it: Students regurgitate facts for the exam and forget them immediately.
The figurative sense usually carries disapproval—mindless repetition rather than genuine thought.
