throw-up

What nausea produces

Throw-up is vomit—the noun form of what comes up when someone throws up.

The term is informal and slightly childish: There was throw-up all over the bathroom floor.

In graffiti culture, a throw-up is a quickly executed piece, usually bubble letters in two colors, simpler than a full mural but more elaborate than a tag.
