    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.

      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.
