GLEEKING

I was looking at some magazines when I was 11 or so and felt some liquid hit the back of my neck. I ignored it but had to look behind me when it happened again. Two older teenaged boys we standing behind me and chuckling. What a couple of dicks.

Now I do it all the time, extra when I'm eating dry bread or crackers. Sometimes I do it onto my girlfriend. She hates it. She calls it 'Snake-ington'.

Do you call it something else? Can you do it? Can everybody?

I can also roll my tongue and stuff.

I can curl my tongue into the shape of a clover.

I have no idea what gleeking is though. Was I miraculously spared this in childhood despite having an older brother?

It's squirting saliva out of glands under your tongue and out of your mouth.

I also forgot to mention that I can blow spit bubbles off of my tongue.

we called it gleeking too(southern calif.)! never got it right
the gleeking craze was a precursor to the "booty busting" epidemic and the "pencils" phenomenon.

it's hereditary

― cutty (mcutt), Saturday, 25 September 2004 21:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I do it accidentally sometimes, but never could on command.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 25 September 2004 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I noticed I did it, by accident, now and then, but, now, I have full control of it, in the right circumstances, then.

It was called gleeting where I was from. I can still do it. It pisses people off, but seems somewhat nicer than spitting in their face.

― Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Sunday, 26 September 2004 00:21 (twenty-one years ago)

is gleeking or gleeting a common name for it? i'm also from southern california and we called it gleeking. are there any other names for it? is it regional?

― JaXoN (JasonD), Sunday, 26 September 2004 02:31 (twenty-one years ago)

gleeting in eastern NC, raise up.

― Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Sunday, 26 September 2004 08:19 (twenty-one years ago)

jesus christ i can do this and i never ever thought *sob* i would find others

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 26 September 2004 08:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha! Yes, I've done it but only accidentally. I'm not sad enough to spend however long it might take learning to control the right muscles to do it on demand.

― Madchen (Madchen), Sunday, 26 September 2004 08:40 (twenty-one years ago)

i can do it on demand. i had thought i was...deformed

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 26 September 2004 08:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm going to gleek, in your face, next time, I see you, madchen.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 26 September 2004 11:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I got gleeked on last night. It was hateful.

― Cathy (Cathy), Sunday, 26 September 2004 12:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I had a friend in Sunday/Hebrew School who would do this all the time, and I would always look up at the ceiling like it was raining. It was a good running gag.

― bnw (bnw), Sunday, 26 September 2004 23:43 (twenty-one years ago)

OMG this thing has a name! I can't do it on demand either but I sometimes accidentally do when yawning.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 26 September 2004 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

did anyone call it "yang"-ing?

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 27 September 2004 01:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually now you say that, yanging sounds kinda familiar.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 27 September 2004 01:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm from NZ and know it as gleeking too and can only do it by accident but I like doing it!

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Monday, 27 September 2004 03:14 (twenty-one years ago)

It's called gleeking in MD, holla! I have the gleek-on-command ability because I have a pretty big thing-under-my-tongue-that-connects-my-tongue-to-the-bottom-of-my-mouth (what's that thing called?), but my skills have not been put to use in years.

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 27 September 2004 12:59 (twenty-one years ago)
