"The current word for "upchuck" is "hurl," Kathryn.  A misnomer as
inaccurate as the word definitions on Freerice.  Margaret L, of the
"upchuck" or "barf" generation"

--It's unlikely that term will catch on in Ireland, where hurling is  
an ancient sporting event - unrelated to "upchuck."  Unless you count  
all the lads at the pubs afterwards.
