Puke, Vomit

So this is a term coined by my friend Ann, to be used when confronted with a person or couple or situation that is so ridiculously cute or perfect or sugary sweet or blissfully happy that it's disgusting. This is not to be confused with "Pukey McVomit", which is a nickname for the guy who drinks too much and throws up all over himself. For example, one might say, "Did you see that enormous bouquet of flowers So-and-So's husband sent her for no reason at all? Puke, vomit." Granted, this term might be uttered in envy, wishing your own husband would do something like that every once in a while. Hmph! Or it could simply be an adjective used to describe your friend's new relationship that is still in the early stages of infatuation. Or their old relationship that is amazingly still exhibiting some signs of infatuation.

Why am I sharing this unusual descriptor? Because yesterday, I turned to Jill (who sits less than 2 feet from me in our miniscule office) with a big goofy grin on my face and said, after a {long dreamy sigh}, of course, "We are SOOOOOOOO puke, vomit. Listen to this . . ." And I proceeded to read her an excerpt from one of Jeff's many emails. He is mushy-gushy to the extreme, and somehow he manages to say the sweetest, cheesiest things and still be funny. For example, today he said something about me being special, "But not Short Bus special. More like Dream Girl special." Aw, c'mon! That is so puke, vomit, and I love it!

Personally, "Puke, vomit" is one of my favorite emotions. You can't count on it lasting beyond the memories in any relationship. In the one that counts, "Puke, vomit" lasts through the "Shit, Fu@!".
