It’s disgusting! What on earth could cause you to spit so much? I’m not necessarily talking about hawking back a wad of snot and spitting—just a mouthful of regular ol’ spit. What’s wrong with swallowing?
exactly…
cause there’s stuff in our mouths that we don’t want there.
bad tase
snot
etc
and we simply don’t care that someone else might not like it.
I’m a guy and I’m wondering this too. Does everyone else just not chew their food all the way when eating? Is everyone secretly chewing tobacco? I don’t get it.
We spit because society allows us to.
You’ve obviously never spit near me, and gotten glared at through lorgnettes and told, “well, really!”
I never spit!
I’ve wondered the same thing. You never see women spitting like that. And I doubt that men have different saliva levels than women. So I think men do it as a sort of animal-marking-his-territory thing, like when a dog pisses on the corner.
Well, in the summertime it’s kinda fun trying to hit flies. 'Specially if you’re drinking beer.
Had a friend who had a gap between his two front teeth. GOD that man could spit. He could let fly with one that’d go about ten feet! (On a day with no wind) Couldn’t hit any flies at that distance though…
It’s a guy thing.
I don’t spit unless I have a horrible taste in my mouth…
but other than that… I think spitting is gross…
and…
lol… good woman…
I keep asking the Mrs. the same thing.
If I feel like there’s some slime or other nastiness in my mouth, I’ll spit. I’ve never considered spit to be all that nasty, so I don’t give it a second thought. My girlfriend doesn’t really like it, but she doesn’t hassle about it, either. The most she’ll usually say is something like, “Jeez… you and Vanessa…” (her 15-year-old daughter spits a lot, too)
It’s just a Guy Thing. We never pass up an oppurtunity to shoot a hot moist wad out of an orifice.
Holy Moly, that’s funny.
I have no idea why, but I spit sometimes when I’m about to pee into a urinal. I think it’s for the same reason that I like to pee outdoors. Perhaps it’s some evolutionary compulsion to mark my territory. Or maybe the orifice thing.
Because they are slope browed trogdolytes with an oral fixation.
Hey, I see teenage girls spitting all the time.
I didn’t even notice until the GF said :“why do the young girls spit so much nowadays,do they think it makes them look cool or something?”
Me : “helephino”
Its always the same motions : girl turns head ,holds hair with one hand,angles pie-hole downward,spits
Funny…
We’ve had a few threads on that in the past, no really good answers other than “because it’s there”
As an ordinary, reasonably masculine guy, I must report that I don’t spit, and none of my friends spit. I’ve never even seen guys on my ball team spit. Maybe it’s a cultural thing. Where are you from?
Same reason we pee in the shower. We are disgusting pigs. We try to get wives to pull our finger because it cracks us the hell up. Even the most socially correct male debutante is in the bushes on the golf course horking up a lugie now and then.
You’ve obviously never been to Missouri. Ladies may not spit like that, but you need to try an old fashioned redneck bar sometime.
I spit, but only if I’m outside(obvious, I hope) and no one is around. Think about it, there is something in your mouth you wish to rid yourself of(ususally phlegm). you can swallow it or spit it out. which would you rather do? I know there are at least a few women out there that can understand that problem:).
