Had no idea Ralph meant “vomit”. Still prefer it to Hugh.

If 'counsel' plus 'wolf' means 'vomit', it's news to me.

It's an onomatopoeia. RAAALF. We had a neighbor named Ralph and my dad used to joke that whenever we had a vomiting sickness, we were calling him.

It’s a common colloquialism, like “hurl” or “barf”. I think it hit its peak in the 80s, but people still use it. They mention it in the Breakfast Club.

Er ... what is the Breakfast Club? First I've heard of it.

The Breakfast Club is an 80s movie. One of the girls in dentention steals a boys wallet, and she says, “Your middle name is Ralph, as in puke.” I actually just watched the movie the other day but I just didn’t care. I liked the sound of it in itself.
