used for expressing disgust US A quintessential Valley Girl expression of disgust.
He like sits there and like plays with all his rings / And he like flirts with all the guys in the class / It’s like totally disgusting / I’m like so sure / It’s like BARF ME OUT / Gag me with a spoon! — Moon Unit and Frank Zappa, ValleyGirl, 1982
