Why so serious?
by Kato @ 1:47 PM
Does anyone use the word "barf" anymore? I don't think I've uttered the word in anything other than a parody manner in a good fifteen years. I mean, "puke" is so much better (and "yak" does well in a pinch).

Is its usage limited to youth? Do kids still say it? No, probably not, they certainly have cooler, hipper ways to convey upchuck. "Plube" they'd say, as in "Aww, man, that lunchroom meat smells so foul, it makes me want to plube!" Or, "Make out with Kevin Federline? Like, plube in my mom's shoes!"

I still prefer "doing the technicolor yawn."

I not a fan of the subject, but I just learned "boot" about a year ago. As in, "Boot and rally."

Although I remember using that word when I was in elementary school, I feel like after Space Balls it became too mainstream.

I'm with miss scarlet; boot is a good one. I just learned of the term "boot" and feel that it must be an East coast thing.
