If you described a situation where “Throw up” would probably be the right choice, would probably be the right choice. Is this polite?

If a doctor was using the word “vomit”, he or she would use the word “throw up”.

“Puke” is more informal and has more of a disgusting tone than the other one, even though it seems like the

same thing.

I think the only thing

that makes me nervous is going to be number three. Why should I fear number three?

How could I grow up with a polycystic brain?
