Explanation:
personagem que vomita sopa de ervilha

Believe it or not, that's what it is.

In the movie they used pea soup to make it look like vomit. Generally known in the US.

It is sort of a light-hearted way to refer to Linda and/or her character, since the movie is a parody.

personagem que vomita sopa de ervilhas


Explanation:
This is a reference to Linda Blair's role in The Exorcist. She literally vomited pea soup all over the priest when she was possessed by the devil.

I don\'t remember the movie... did she actually vomit pea soup? Or was it the \"substance\" used in the movie to simulate vomit?
