It would seem there aren't many vomitoriums left in the world these days. Thankfully, there is still one in use here in Nashville at the James K. Polk Theater. I knew I moved here for a reason.

How could such a word survive since ancient Rome? Was there ever a discussion of maybe coming up with a new word for this? Maybe it just barely missed getting a new name? Regardless, consider this public notice that the vomitorium is alive and well, at least in these parts.
