PRAY TO DIONYSUS

v 1. to vomit. Origin: Dionysus is the Greek god of wine, so naturally getting drunk is in his honor. When one pukes, one prays to him. (Note that this term is intended to be humorous and does not reflect actual Greek mythology.) ("He drank too much, and now he's off praying to Dionysus.")
