“barf” (verb): “to vomit or retch,” 1960, American English slang, probably imitative. Related: “Barfed”; “barfing”. As a noun, from 1966. “Barf bag” meaning “air sickness pouch” attested from 1966.
I was in a sales meeting with a new salesman named Ralph. He excused himself to the restroom. As we overheard from across the hall, there was a reason he was named Ralph.
