Spitting

Former Member · April 2006

Spitting is just gross and not necessary.

I spit during competitions, and after hard track sessions, but I always walk away from the pitch/track round the corner find some bushes or just somewhere away from everyone, because it's more than just a bit minging. Even if you've brought up something nasty when you're ill, you can still spit away from the public, there's no need to spit all over the floor.

I spit all the time...I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks to be honest.

Well, Beijing takes spitting seriously!

The spit has become such a concern among the city that a new campaign charging a $5USD (about 40 RMB) fine is going to be imposed in the hopes of stamping out the spit before 2008. And to further enforce this new rule, an “army of volunteers are hitting the streets of Beijing handing out small “spitting bags” and wearing bright orange uniforms with the Chinese character “tan” – “mucus” – printed in yellow on the back.”

Bring that to the streets of the UK I say :yes:

Men produce twice as much salivia as women so, especially if you're a male smoker, sometimes it's necessary.

I spit when I have to. It's not nice, but i'm not going to walk around with a huge gob of phlegm just to avoid upsetting some poor dear.

It's not like I gob at people, I normally try and spit down a drain or away from the pavement.

I hate charvers and builders who gob everywhere. More than once I've nearly been hit by spit from the building site on the walk to work, if they hit me I will lamp them.

Pretty much same as me. If i've brought up a huge lump of it, I ain't gonna swallow it back down. Just wrong and unhealty. Eew. And after a smoke I might want to spit.

I'll wait if I am in a vehicle or building though, till I go outside.

Which means young boy or mate where I'm from. Strange. Thanks.

Maybe where I live they've kept on to the real meaning of the words? :rolleyes:

I think I've had the charv/chav/chavvie discussion before on here... course different words mean different things in different places, didn't you see the HSBC (!?) advert?

I quite like it, can make for interesting conversations occasionally resulting from unintentional insults..

As for spitting, it doesn't really bother me and sometimes you just physically need to. It really isn't nice if someone spits as they walk past you on the street, though, or similar... but I doubt there's anywhere in the world where people would think that particularly pleasant.

:yes:

if you can hold the urge until you're out of a building, you can hold it until you're not near other people. i'm all for spitting if it's totally necessary. peeing is necessary too. but i don't want to see you do either. there's no need.

i'll make exceptions if you're a sportsperson or a cowboy.

well you have to make exceptions for the rootin` tootin` cowboys or they lassoo you.

I make special exceptions for chewing tobacco when they spit and it makes a p`ting sound when it lands
