reverse peristalsis 

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.

The technical term for vomiting is not reverse peristalsis it is regurgitation.
