I say it's blowing chunks, but my teammates say that's too graphic.
It was the summer of '01. I was ripping off 800m repeats on the track in heat that could make a cow keel over. I had run the first 7 controlled with my teammates, but on the final repeat I saw my high school crush walking by outside the fence with one of the football players (the kicker, no less!) It filled me with anger and rage, and as the rest seconds ticked away I felt a fire ignite within my pelvis. I heard my watch beep and I sprinted down the first one hundred meters as fast as possible, leaving my buddies in the dust. The curve was a little slower, but I was still flying. I took it hard down the backstretch and second curve, and my coach called my split out. "57 seconds, slow down!" But I didn't. I ran harder, screaming down the first straightaway with tears in my eyes. I rounded the second curve and came down the backstretch for a second time. My stomach was churning as I came around the curve one last time and crossed the line. My time was 1:58, a 3 second personal best in the 800. I collapsed in the grass and my teammates finishing right behind me walked over. They saw I was struggling and called for help. The coaches came running in yelling, along with everyone else on the team. They helped me to my feet and guided me toward the trainer's office. As I was stumbling along, my crush saw me and came over. "Are you okay? You don't look good. Here, let me help." She tried to put her arm around my back, and as she did I felt my stomach turn over, and BLAGHGHGHGHGH!!!! Out came my bacon and eggs from that morning, all over her white Converse high tops. I was mortified. I tried to apologize, but it just kept coming out! I was gagging and retching, and then everything went black.
She never spoke to me again.
Well done, sir.

Is that a Boston/New England term?
Everyone I've heard using it has a Boston University connection.
