Wasn't sure which thread to post this in...but went with this one.

http://edmontonjournal.com/sports/ho...re-wins-game-1

This quote is from the Edmonton Urinal this morning: There is a moment — and it happens early in many a National Hockey League playoff series — when the home team and its full-throated crowd gets so amped up that the visitors seem in real danger of being blown clear out one of the vomitoria.

Vomitoria is plural for vomitorium, which is:
a) each of a series of entrance or exit passages in an ancient Roman amphitheatre; or
b) a place in which the ancient Romans are supposed to have vomited feasts to make room for more food.

Definition b) is clearly what the writer is going after, and it is very apropos.

BTW for said article, there is not a single comment posted which must mean that the loss last night made the entire fan base forget passwords and how to use the internet. #internetcleanup
