Mnemonic

If your mouth has dirt in it, you're going to throw up. That's just a fact.

Mnemonic

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

Hints

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