Answer: Perfectly good English I thought. For instance, John Evelyn's Memoirs of 1651: "A malefactor was to have the question, or torture, given to him". One could say he was put to the question in Guantanamo fashion.

Rather like Lars' subsequent Heave, the Hurl and the sound "Hue!" are indicative of upchucking or the technicolor yawn while praying to the porcelain. Ralph figures too, these are all onomatopoeic echoes of drunken excess over any convenient drain. Especially, if I remember, after several pints of black Irish stout.
