Mnemonic

When you throw up it sounds like you're shouting, "HA (は)!" Then all the dirt-puke comes out in a wave. It's less of a laugh ha and more of an oh no I'm throwing up ha.

Hints

Imagine the sound you made the last time you threw up. It sounded like you were saying HA from the bottom of your tummy.
