chunder
verb- to vomit AUSTRALIA, 1950
Probably rhyming slang for “Chunder Loo” (spew); from the name of an advertising comic strip character that ran in the early C20. The widely held theory that it derives from a clipping of the phrase “Watch under!” used by seasick passengers on liners to warn the lower decks of an impending vomit shower, is nothing but ingenious trifling. - She objected to pale blue satin clad girls chundering all over her tulle toilet seat covers[.] — Sue Rhodes, Now you’ll think I’m awful, p. 142, 1967
