It's important to remember that Australians apparently have more terms
for vomiting than any other language on the planet, let alone just
other dialects of anglic. It starts with "technicolor snake" and goes

The Yen Buddhists are the richest religious sect in the universe. They
hold that the accumulation of money is a great evil and burden to the
soul. They therefore, regardless of personal hazard, see it as their
unpleasant duty to acquire as much as possible in order to reduce the
risk to innocent people. -- Terry Pratchett, _Witches Abroad_
