Catchword: vom

Filed Under: English, Entertainment, Slang, Abbreviation

Part of Speech: n.

Quotation: The stage at Le Rêve is a 27-foot-deep circular pool of water. At three points on its circumference—the 12 o’clock, 4 o’clock, and 8 o’clock positions—are vomitory lifts (not vomitory as in “a place where you puke” but vomitory as in the tunnels that admitted ancient Romans into the Coliseum). The voms are water-filled tunnels that lead backstage so scenery and performers can move into the pool.
