'got sick' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to bodily activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'fellow stripped outside' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'stripped' becomes 'bared' ('bare' can be a synonym of 'strip').
'outside' is an insertion indicator (some letters go outside others).
'f' going within 'bared' is 'BARFED'.

'and' acts as a link.
