in thread One to one file output idiom

If the subject is a person, it should mean vomiting.

In German "speien" can also mean spitting out or with big force (like spitting out disgusting food or spitting with disgust onto s.o. face)

I suppose it's not much different in English.

As I already said, this might be accurate for writing a whole file at once, I don't see how "slurping" (which is actually a Dutch/German loan word) reflects "gulping" a whole file.

    It's a perfectly cromulent usage going back to the ancients: slurp

    Clojure uses the pair spit and slurp, coincidentally.

    You do realize that English diverged from German like a thousand years ago, right?

      Sure, I remember it like it was yesterday.
