An inaccurate alternative term for regurgitation or vomiting, typically used by grade school science teachers who don't actually understand science and use the urban dictionary instead of a competent textbook to source classroom material.
While reverse peristalsis in the small intestine can occur during vomiting, the actual act of vomiting does not involve peristalsis.

Get the reverse peristalsis mug.Someone who wants no change to their favorite video game series. They are the reason why some series become stagnant with no new ideas because fanboys whine about them, so when the new games come out, they can complain about how similar it is to predecessor and thrive on old games. They contribute absolutely nothing to the future of video games.
While it's true that great games should never change their formula to the point that it alienates their fans, purists take it too far and seem to be against any good new ideas that may affect their series in one way or the other.

Purists will whine about any new change that comes their way. Whether it was multiplayer in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, third party characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, or any idea not mentioned by the creators for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, a purist will continue to whine that their series must stay the same until we all die.
