boke
A web spelling of the Scottish/Northern Irish slang boak (which occurs because "boke" looks like how you'd spell it) which can mean either vomit or dry heave (the dry boak).
Example:
On BBC Scotland when Rab C. Nesbitt asked, "Got a wee touch of the boak, eh doll?" a lot of folks might have thought he said "boke" -- if they could understand his Glaswegian at all.
