The word actually means "to scream suddenly" or "to eject or soundly reject" too.  I think that's more British English than US English, though.  I read The Invisible Man last year and there is a line that goes roughly "in a rage he paced his room like a lion, clenched his fist, ejaculated, and sat down exhausted" that made me actually choke I was laughing so hard.

No idea how that applies to ingredients in moisturizer.   ???

Haha! time to add that to my list of books to read. I'm pretty sure the fact that this lotion was made in china (at least the bottle). I think the stuff was called something like: "Oh! It's Fresh!"

Looking at Dictionary.com, they have this listed in the medical definition: 1 :  to eject from a living body

I'm guessing they were trying to say that it was freshly squeezed from the plant, but babelfish screwed up as usual.

If it's the Ralph Ellison novel, rather than the Orson Wells novel of the same name (it sounds like the Ellison one by that quote), I wouldn't put it on your list based on that line.  It's a great book, but it's not humorous at all.  The humor in that line is entirely unintentional. 

ChadTower:

It's the HG Wells version.  Third option.   :)

Vigo:
Yeah, I would be for the HG Wells version. I love the classic novels (not saying the Ellison one isn't considered classic). Especially the horror and science fiction novels. I guess The Invisible Man is one of the ones that has eluded me. It's not because of the one line that I wanted to read the book, it was more of an "Oh, yeah! I never read that one!"
