A frog can't empty its stomach by vomitting. To empty its stomach contents, a frog throws up it's stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of it's mouth. Then the frog uses its forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down again.

My grandad is married to a frog and she's never pulled sick out herself, she just threw up. I can't speak for the rest of the French but it's just 1 example.

I like your humour and want to be your most bestest friend, but that ugly bjork woman makes me angry

Forceful removal of the stomach contents is vomiting, so frogs and toads to vomit. They can vomit without the stomach prolapsing outside the body (it can simply prolapse to the buccal cavity. The act of forceful prolapse of the stomach is the primary driver of vomiting, followed by the slow swallowing of the stomach.

I checked the paper published by Naitoh and Wassersug, in 1996 describing this. Seems some misinterpretation and chinese whispers have once more proven that the internet should not be a source of reliable information.
