regurgitated

Threw it up

Regurgitated is the past tense of regurgitate, meaning to bring swallowed food back up—as birds do when feeding their young.

By extension, it describes information repeated without thought or understanding: He just regurgitated what the professor said without adding any insight.

The implication is mechanical reproduction rather than genuine processing or original thought.
