Gleeking is opening your mouth and shooting saliva out of the two forward glands on the underside of the front of your tongue at will.
The unusual thing about it is that is is an extremely difficult maneuver to explain to someone. How would you teach someone how to do it?
A friend tried to teach me in 7th grade. For some reason, I kept trying for the next two years. And suddenly I could do it in 9th grade. I remember thinking at the time, “No wonder it couldn’t be explained.” And now I’m really good at it
Not familiar with anybody who can “gleek” at will and with any accuracy, but we used to call the forcing of a stream of saliva between the front two teeth as “skeeting” and I could do that pretty well. I wouldn’t have thought of “skeeting” on a bet, until you asked. I’d be willing to admit it was not a popular term in the 50’s when was the last time I can remember using it. It may not have been used outside the town I lived in then.
Yep. I started a thread about it a few years ago, but I can’t seem to find it. I can’t say I have much accuracy, but I can do it on demand, though not many times in a short period.
Yes, yes, and my method is different from tdn’s. I do move the tongue forward a little. The most effective way is to lightly bite my tongue with my right canine. I showed Mr. Mallard once and he was horrified: he had never know a human to do anything so snake-like.
My brother could (possibly still can) gleek. It was exactly that sort of thing, that and the fart-fights that he and his friends used to do in the car when I was driving them to the ski hill that makes my late teens/his early teens such an unfortunate memory.
