Cough up a hairball?
Hi.
While I was listening a english education program, I heard this expression "cough up a hairball".
It reminds me of one scene of the movie SHREK2 - I guess many of you have seen that movie.
Do you remember the scene in which Puss in boots threatening shrek and donkey?
I did't understand why Puss in boots cough up a hairball to be helpless and why that scene is funny.
My question is,
1. "Cough up a hairball" - Does this expression imply other meaningthan just "VOMIT a hair ball" - I mean, literally?
2. Why Puss in boots lost his power after coughing up a hairball? Andwhy is it a funny scene?
Thanks for your help. In advance. :^)
