feeding the penguins

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

A colorful euphemism for vomiting after excessive drinking, inspired by how penguins regurgitate food for their young. It's nature's way of reminding you that those last three tequila shots were a terrible idea. At least penguins do it out of love; you're just doing it out of poor judgment.

Example Usage

After that pub crawl, Jake spent an hour feeding the penguins in the alley behind the bar.
