Spew means to throw out or release something from inside your body, often violently. When someone's sick, they might spew up their lunch.

When we talk about food, it's common to say that a certain dish can make you want to spew. If someone mentions a really strong smell coming from the kitchen, they might be talking about food that's making them feel like they're going to spew. The word spew is also used in nautical contexts - for example, if a ship is sailing through rough seas and something starts spewing out of its cargo hold, it means water or other debris is being thrown out uncontrollably.
