Etymology: "Yacked" is the past tense of "yack," which means to talk noisily and at length, and, in slang, to vomit. The talking sense is American slang from the late nineteenth century, probably imitative of the noise of chattering, and "yak" is a close variant spelling. The vomiting sense is a later slang extension, likely tied to the noisy, heaving sound of retching, though its exact origin is uncertain.
Synonyms: chattered, talked, gabbled
