Spewing

/ˈspjuːɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Ejecting or throwing out something forcefully and rapidly, or talking continuously and often excessively.

Etymology

From Old English 'spīwan,' possibly from Proto-Germanic. Originally literal (vomiting or expelling), it expanded metaphorically to speech.

Kelly Says

Volcanoes spew lava at temperatures over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, but they also 'spew' gases that change the planet's chemistry—when Krakatoa erupted in 1883, its spewing sulfur particles made sunsets red worldwide for months.
