I’m guessing that saying such a word would involve some sort of uvulaic response, something spoken from the throat or the back of the mouth to trigger your gag reflex.
Alternatively, it could be the the word “uvulaic”.

Be nice to the guest, children. I checked Snopes and there’s nothing there (though many fascinating articles are listed under the key word “vomit”).

Saying ‘Candyman’ repeatedly will make you vomit…blood, as you’re impaled on a meathook.

The phrase “want another beer?” has caused me to vomit more than once. So maybe the word you are looking for is “Beer?”

If you quack like a duck repeatedly it will make you vomit. And it won’t echo, either.
