My Lists of Synonyms. Today It’s Vomit.

Some people collect stamps. I collect lists of synonyms. I was working on a script and one of the characters had to say that he was going to throw up. But I thought saying, “I’m going to throw up” didn’t fit the character. I needed him to say it another way. Puke, barf, and vomit immediately came to mind but none of them worked for the character. Thesaurus.com helped but I still wanted something different. So I summoned Google and went in search of synonyms for vomit. I came across some really great ones. “Didn’t make it to poop. Burp for the hearing impaired. Technicolor chunderspew.” I also came across some very odd ones that I loved for no other reason than they made me laugh because they were so odd. “Chowder Chunder and The Space Patrol” being one of my favorite odd ones. So I started making a list.

That synonyms for vomit list led to other lists. I like to find other ways of referring to sex organs, prostitutes, the act of having sex, poop, etc. You get the idea. Frankly I find saying penis, vagina, and hooker very boring.

So I started making more lists. Insults, swear words, pub names, British foods that sound naughty. I’ve found these lists to be extremely helpful with my writing. And if I’m feeling a bit down, I go and read them and they always make me laugh. I am, after all, a 12-year old boy at heart.

I’d like to share those lists, because you never know when you want to say “Uh oh, I think I’m going to chew it on the rebound.”
