"barf me out"

 




Valley Girl “speak”, same as :

Gag me with a spoon

  • An exclamation indicating disgust. “Val-speak” was an idiom created in the 1970s and 80s by so-called Valley Girls, reputedly materialistic and self-centered young women who lived in California's San Fernando Valley (outside Los Angeles). Their vocabulary and speech patterns swept the country, propelled by popular music, television shows, and such movies as “Clueless” (based on Jane Austen's novel Emma). Like other fads, linguistic or otherwise, Val-speak disappeared almost as quickly as it had burst on the scene. Where once the staple “gag me with a spoon” (meaning that something was awful enough to induce nausea), was widely heard, it's gone the way of “well, dog my cat” and other archaisms. That's not to say that all Val-speak has disappeared. “As if ” (“that's not going to happen”), “duh!” (“that's obvious”), and the ubiquitous “like” are heard wherever the English language is used . . . and misused.

Barf out

  • A verb, slang: To annoy or repulse someone. A noun or pronoun can be used between "barf" and "out."
    • I'm not going to prom with that skeeve! He totally barfs me out!
    • “Barf me out”

Another phrase that illicits colorful imagery in our minds. This means that something is disgusting or stupid or uncool. If in the early 2000’s Paris Hilton would have said “that’s not hot” you can bet that a valley girl would have said “barf me out.”

Here are even more for what its worth,

1. “Grody”

2. “Bag your face”

3. “Take a chill pill”

4. “Doy”

5. “Noid”

6. “Psych!”

7. “Barf bag”

8. “Bogus”

9. “Totally Tubular” (no idea what this means, neither does anyone else)

If you are easily offended read no further!

10. “Dickweed”

  • LOL.

11. “Penis-breath”

12. “In another life”

13. “What’s your damage?”
