The Scotland/Northern Ireland idiom for gagging without vomiting.
NOTE: The idiom is *the* dry boak. It it never *a* dry boak.
It is from this idiom that the word boak escaped to take on a life of its own (along with the alternate spelling boke) -- with some people using boak (or boke) to mean "the dry boak," and others meaning normal vomiting.

Get the dry cummug. The mislabeled symptom of a hangover. Not quite a headache because there is no pain, in fact, there is a lack of any feeling of anything. Literally no fluid between your brain and your skull.
