regurgitators
Those who retch
Regurgitators are people or things that bring something back up, whether literally or figuratively.
In the literal sense, certain birds are regurgitators, bringing up partially digested food to feed their young.
More often the term appears figuratively and disparagingly to describe people who repeat information without understanding or original thought: The class was full of regurgitators who could recite facts but couldn't analyze them.
A regurgitator merely spews back what was taken in.
