Puke Words

  • I searched an English phrase which means “ゲロを吐く (puke or vomit),” as a result, some phrases like as follows were founded:


    “bark at ants”
    “feed the fish”
    “sing to the sink”
    “woof one’s cookies”

    I didn’t know why these phrases mean “puke,” so I thought the reason.

    “bark at ants”
    Since ants are worming on the ground, the puking pose looks like barking at ants. Maybe that’s why.

    “feed the fish”
    I thought this phrase liken vomited foods to fish food.

    “sing to the sink”
    A scene that a human is puking to the sink is as if who are singing to the sink. Maybe.

    “woof one’s cookies”
    The word woof is similar to the word puke, but I didn’t know why cookies. This phrase might liken vomited foods to cookies.

    I’m so sorry for posting a dirty content.

    Also, according to the following webpage, there were so many puke words. I gave up to think where all of these words come from.
