Kate needs our help. She's come up with a new word and needs a definition for it. What should Speh mean?

I see loads of opportunity here. My first impression is a combo of Spew and Feh so I'm going with that.

Spew is vomiting but with a connotation of quickness and being unforseen. Spew is a reaction to a stimulus. Examples: "That coaster was so rough that I spewed" or "If I have one more jello shot I'm going to spew."

Feh is a very classy and time honored dismissal to a statement or occurence that includes built in disrespect for the object dismissed. Examples: "Donny Osmond. Donny Osmond. Donny. Donny. Donny. (pause) Feh!" or "Me? Go out with you? Feh!"

So Speh should primarily mean a disrespectful dismissal but include the element that the object being dismissed makes the speaker physically or emotionally ill.

So what do you think? Go give Kate your suggestions.
