Ok, so I just yawned and a fountain like spray of spittle arched clear across my desk. I know this is not entirely uncommon, but does anyone know what the hell causes it? Preasure on some spit glad or something?

Just my gross little inquisitory for the morning.
 
darlin you were still foaming at the mouth from reading glam's and ezrac's posts from last night.

Ha! I'll bet a lot of people think that. Nope. I'm serious. I have an inquiring mind and it wants to know.

I'm not sure what causes it, but I can do it on command.

Shut up! I've been trying to figure that out since I was a kid! Must be like curling your tongue, some can, some can't.

Don't hate me. It just started to happen about 10 years ago when I was recovering from bronchitis.
 
there's actually a name for that. it's something like glicking. i'll find out this afternoon and get back with you. if you curl your tongue back toward your throat and look in a mirror you'll see two little "bumps" under your tongue and that's where the saliva comes from. try sticking your tongue out without uncurling it and you should be able to squirt on demand.

lessons on ear wiggling, eyebrow lifting and belching on command to follow.

Thank you! We called it gleeking as kids. I still can't do it but I can see the glands now. lol

Ok, my random dumbass question for the day has been answered. I feel better.
 
What is really fun is doing it by accident in front of a class full of teen agers, and hitting one of them.

It goes one of two ways. Either they ignore it, knowing it was an accident, we might make eye contact and sort of share a moment. Or they freak out and make a big sceen. He spit on me! Eeeeww gross! So forth and so on.

Another great teaching moment.
 
Doing it in front of kids is the kiss of death.

They no longer take you seriously...
 
that's it, gleeking. you can not even imagine how many years it's been since i thought of that word or did it for that matter. but i've found that i can still do it on command. :cool:

Better than peeing on them. lol

I can't help it! You know I think you rock but you put up the pee av's and I MUST MOCK!! It's practically instinct.
 
Mock?

Sweet lil' ole you?

:eek:

And besides,peeing on kids is not my fetish...heh.....

Stapling them to the ceiling is!

Sounds like an overactive uvula.
 
The technical term for that is gleek. (yeah huh!)

Usually, it's just saliva shooting out of one of the sublingual ducts under your tongue. I don't know what causes it, but it sure is fun!
 
I think it is the squeezing of the muscles around the salivary glands that causes the stream of saliva to shoot out.
