Praying to the Porcelain God

[ESquared]

A while back when I was playing Rollercoaster Tycoon, I got inspired by the roller coaster name "The Vomit Comet" to try to come up with my own euphemisms for throwing up, to name some of my custom-built high-intensity rollercoasters.

This thread is for you to share any euphemisms you know, plus to invent your own. Here are my original contributions!

I suppose some of these might be called dysphemisms. Any way you look at it, they all mean the same thing.

I think I'm going to:

- feed the dog (at "dog," bend over to the side and groan out da

http://wwwwwwhhhhhggggg,

then look at what you did for a moment, then say, "here boy!" and whistle)
- unpack my snack
- unmunch my lunch
- serve my milkshake
- empty my blender
- make air pizza

And made up on the spot in this post:
- spill my pills (after taking vitamins or something)
- give the chef a rebate
- empirically prove that what goes down, sometimes comes up

Maybe I'll fire up RCT and try to find some more old names I made up so I can post them here.

Eminent Emesis"

Would that be imminent emesis? Unless the emesis is profound or well known. Eminent emesis is what President GHW Bush gave up at the Japanese dinner.

Nice alliteration.

My grandfather called it "retrieving radishes".

Reminds me about a holiday situation where I lacked a word for it: sitting on the hotel beach with my friend a dog came to us, wagged it's tail, barked and then vomited right beside us and went away.

It was hard to tell the hotel personnel what happened and that they should come and clean it. "a dog has *making as sound* there" did not ring a bell to them. But perhaps the sound was all they understood, this was in Tangier, Morocco.

A friend of mine rented a holiday home in France which had a rather dirty pool, with a lot of dog poo floaters.

He complained to the owner, using invented sign language and appropriate gesturing, making a dog noise and pointing at his backside etc. The owner turned a red color, threw a net at him and stormed off muttering. His wife who spoke a little french and was half listening out of the window, told him that the owners mutterance was along the lines of "how dare you come here and dump in my pool, you disgusting foreigner, clean it up!"

The Regurgatron? Hmmm...I always thought that was called the Spin 'n Barf machine (from an OLD SNL skit where Mr. Bill was riding a handheld mixer).
