Ah, but it IS so defined in the Hisbollah dictionary.

What sort of emetic is involved?

Over 200, due to the fact that I can barely walk, and the different
medications I have to take every day. I eat as little as I can, (1800
calories) but the diabetes makes it very difficult to trim anything else
from my strict diet. If I take even another 100 calories out of my diet
for more than a couple days I end up sick in bed for weeks. Before I
got sick, I was still 180 pounds and on a 3200 calorie a day diet.
