      Metaphorically, yes. They let a lot of things out. That’s why it’s called that. It means ""to spew forth. " (that’s in your link)

      People used to think it was a place where people vomited.

        It means ""to spew forth. "

        Aactually, it doesn’t, but good of you to actually open the link and have a butcher’s. “Vomere” means “to spew forth”. “Vomitorium” is “vomere” + -“orium”, meaning “place of.”

            Yes, it is in the link, I know. That’s how I know you took a look.

            The Latin word vomitorium, plural vomitoria, derives from the verb vomō, vomere, “to spew forth”

            Derives from vomere, “to spew forth”

                You replying implies a certain level of caring. Positive or negative, doesn’t matter.

                Clearly some people were bothered. (👁 ͜ʖ👁)

                    Oh no, really? I had absolutely no idea. Good of you to care enough about the thread to post that reply.

        But if they are the passage, then you’d be entering and exiting children, and that just sounds… wrong.
