I think your boyfriend may be confusing the term "tossing your cookies,"
which does refer to vomiting with the term "tossing one's salad" which
applies, as you have pointed out, to quite another bodily compulsion.  In
the interest of all involved I don't feel it is necessary to go any further
on the subject.
