Nope. "Sick up" is UK English and not American at all. Kind of old-fashioned UK English though, so probably your American writers are basing their slang off old British TV and/or books.

NAYRT If it is then it's a regional term because I've never heard it in my life or read it in any era of novels.

If you look downthread, you'll see that The Guardian, The Register and The Daily Mail have used the term in the last 3 years. What region would that make it?

[(Anonymous)]

I really don't know. I thought it was an Americanism that people had started using recently tbh, none of my friends or colleagues use it and I've never seen it in any British novels of any era.

Campaign to stop people using it? Anyone with me?
