SPEW Meaning and
Definition

Spew is a verb that is used to describe the action of expelling or forcefully ejecting something, often in large quantities, through the mouth or a vent orifice. This term commonly refers to the forceful expulsion of liquid, gas, or other substances, typically in a rapid and uncontrolled manner.
The word "spew" is often associated with vomit or the act of throwing up. It represents the forceful release of stomach contents through the mouth as a result of illness, excessive alcohol consumption, or other forms of bodily discomfort. It can also be used more figuratively to describe the release of intense emotions or expressions in a violent or uncontrolled manner.
The term "spew" can also be used to describe the act of forcefully expelling something other than bodily fluids, such as steam, fumes, or debris. This usage often conveys a sense of powerful, uncontrolled release or discharge. For example, a volcano might spew lava and ash during an eruption, or a burst pipe might spew water.
Additionally, "spew" can be employed metaphorically to describe the act of speaking or writing in an excessive or uncontrollable manner, often characterized by the unfiltered or unorganized nature of the words. It suggests a flow of words or ideas that are unleashed rapidly and without restraint.
