Boak

I've used this for the first time today, although I see it a lot. Would it be possible to have a 'boak' emoticon?

Hi lisaro
Think this has been suggested before and iirc the consensus was that (1) there are lots of emetophobes who would have real probs with this and also (2) the word does much more than a vomming smiley ever could.
I may be misremembering though.

Fair enough, Olivia, thanks for replying.

But there's no vomming smiley. What about a face which is slightly green and has a 'x' for a mouth? This would be so cool!

Actually, that's probably less of an emetic that the word 'boak', which is very descriptive (and prob would have set me off during my pregnancies).
