- chunder
verb:- to vomit, usually when drunk. Perhaps from 'up and under'.Legend has it though that the term hails from the time of the long ships that transported convicts to Australia. It was a twelve month trip and the seas would often be stormy causing the ships to roll from side to side; a prescription for sea sickness. The convicts were housed in bunk like beds which was generally where you ended up if you were feeling ill. A convict on the top bunk who was about to vomit would yell "Watch out under" to warn the inhabitants of the lower bunks of the pending delivery. As with most Australian slang, the phrase "Watch out under" got shortened to "Chunder" - or so the story goes..
