A Virtual Bridge Across the Pond

Phrasal differences

Sick (British) = vomit or vomiting

Yakking up (British) = talking

Chuck = to throw something out OR the leftovers of being sick (British sense) or vomiting

1.  My Chucks (as in Converse)

2.  Being sick over the weekend (where I get the she’sgivingtoomuchinformation look)
