Terminology

Is there a medical term for "projectile vomiting?" Perhaps combining "emesis" with "rrhage" or "rrhagia" :bugeyes:

I agree, there is absolutely a difference between "hurling" and "spewing". In between those two extremes you also have yak, upchuck, and barf.

Aren't you glad you know the difference?
