Hi there,

All I can say is that you've received a very peculiar if not strange text. Any background information? Maybe he wants to rid himself of some illicit hallucinogens...or he's simply had a week tummy... Could be anything, really.

.
As Ralf indicated, dreamangel, more of the broader context is needed.

Your friend might be intending to rid himself (slough) of something or even someone he finds disgusting (puke).
