Word origins of Chunder
I don't know about you, but I thought that "chunder" was a slang word in Australia and New Zealand for throwing up, and I never thought about the origins of this expression.
I don't know if this is true or not, but it made me smile
chunder
Chunder means to be sick, it originates from old seafareing days when sailers would get seasick and stick their head out of the porthole in their cabin. As they did this they would shout "Watch Under" to warn people in lower cabins of the forthcoming puke. Over the years this has evolved in Chunder.
