I only do it if I'm sick and I have a nasty buildup in the back of my throat. I try to get it in a trash can or something. My friend, however, does it constantly. He has been a swimmer most of his life, and he told me that all the chlorine has eroded his sinuses and so he has to constantly hock loogies.
 
I have a friend who spits constantly, it doesnt matter where.. spits on the floor at home, in stores, at school. sigh..

yup, then you go to the bathroom or some isolated area and let it fly. 🙂

but ya know... did u ever have to take a dump real bad, but there wasn't a can around... so u squirm and squirm for like 15 minutes til u get to know. then when u r all ready to unload... u just don't have to go anymore. did that ever happen to u? uhh.. me either.
 
id rather spit out the crap i just cleared out of my throught then swallow it again
Exactly. Spitting is a part of the immune system. It is unhealthy to bypass it. If you swallow spit, you can get tuberculosis (and other such things). It's supposed to be disgusting, you prude. It's excrement, do not swallow it.

Are you sure of this?
 
this guy's posts are always so awesome. Everytime I see a thread/post by him... I know that it'll be such delicious gibberish, I can't help but think...


"lolstfu"


So: lolstfu.
 
I only spit when I'm sick and sometimes when I'm running. Aren't humans designed to swallow it though? The mucus catches all those diseased particles and then the mucus slides into the stomach to be destroyed by the hydrochloric acid.

JARSOFFART: Perhaps you can teach us how to get away with not farting? 😀
 
um.. cuz i have junk in my mouth and i want it out of me.. and not in me so i dont swallow and i spit... i usually hit grass at least tho
 
Thats why there is a trash can bag. The trash can bag is for garbage. Spit is Garbage. So it goes in the trash can bag.
 
Reasons I might spit or "hock a loogie":

1) I've been sick and have crap stuck in my throat that I'd REALLY rather not swallow
2) I've been running (usually more than a mile or two) and have a similar problem to #1
3) I've just finished watching the newest Rob Schneider movie

that's about it 🙂

I'm certain. Are you disagreeing?
