I think we need just one more topic on disgusting body expurgations. So, what colloquialisms do the Dopers use for vomit.

I always liked “driving the porcelan bus” and "saying hello to _Ralph_ as he drives by in his _Buick_. When I was in Perth Australia, trying to drink all the beer in W.A. I was later told that when I started projectile vomiting in the rosebushes our host said to my friends “look, your mate, 'es in technicolor.” My friends said that when they tried to help he told them “leave him be, he’s just having fun.” Strange idea of fun down under. ---

I had a friend once (acquintance?) who drank so much that he started projectile vomited all over the place. Now, to me, this would serve as a good indicator that the 'ol body’s had enough for one night. Not him, he said “God Damn, I’m foaming at the mouth!” and kept right on drinking. I knew then, that I was not a big league drinker. Thank God for that, I guess. ---
