Yes, I spit when I talk. I stopped after a while, and then I had surgery. Now it's worse. Same with the drooling, because I can't feel it until it's dripping off my chin.

Ahaahahahahaha!! I was going to say gleeking in my post, but I wasn't sure if anyone else would know what it was. I always wanted to be able to make myself gleek, but could never manage it. I still can't do it on command now, but it happens quite a bit.Ariesinatl wrote:What ith thith thpitting you sptheath of?? lol. Yeah I'm always gleeking or seeing little shooters when I speak. Ohh well I will gladly pay the price for straight teeth.
Ha, see that's why I didn't put it in my post. It really is the coolest thing. Have you ever chewed gum ( it usually happens when the gum is relatively new ) and this perfect little spray of drops comes shooting out without you even feeling it? That would be a gleek. I've noticed it happens with chewy stuff a lot. Like gum, caramel, steak....something that you have to put a lot of effort into chewing.Meryaten wrote:Ah the spitting. Cripplingly embarrassing. Yet whenever I notice one of those spittle-bombs flying over the table towards the person I am speaking with, they (perhaps politely pretend they) don't notice
The drooling has come and gone - I'm sure it will be back.
But I have to ask - what the heck is gleeking?? Not Lynn's profanity filter at work I take it??
Me either....darnit.Meryaten wrote:Heh - I learn something new every day (but not how to whistle with my fingers in my mouth )
