phlegmed up

That horrible sensation when you have just coughed or sneezed and a hot sensation bubbles up from your throat and you realise that you are just about to phlegm up.

Malcolm stood in the middle of his garden, guests surrounding him. He tried to clear his throat as it felt raspy. He tried for a cough and before he knew it an acrid tasting and foul orange dart of hot spew issued forth from his mouth and down onto his shoes. Everyone looked stunned and disgusted including his aunt Miriam. They all knew what had just happened. Malcolm had phlegmed up.
