Ah, but they neglect to mention the variant first popularized by 
Berkeley Breathed in his "Bloom County" comic strip (ca. 1983--1989): 
The use of "Bleah" and "Blech" with similar meanings.  See also 
"Pbbbbttt" with similar meaning(*), but usually accompanied by a 
physical gesture (sticking out one's tongue at the "yucky" person or 
object).

(*) "Pbbbbttt" is also used as an expression of glee, esp. in reaction 
to the discovery of proof that the person was right about a contentious 
issue, and directing this expression toward the opposing, incorrect party.
