What does "word vomit" mean in slang?
The phrase "word vomit" refers to speaking in a fast, uncontrolled way where thoughts come out in a messy or unfiltered stream. The structure uses "vomit" metaphorically to suggest spilling out words without organization or editing. It is often used when someone talks too much due to nerves, excitement, or lack of restraint. The term is informal and usually slightly self-deprecating.
Examples
I got nervous during the interview and ended up with total word vomit.
