Can you gleek?

I gleeked yesterday at the dentist! I had been laying there for a while while the dentist changing instruments or something. She had my mouth propped open and I suddenly felt a small jet issue from my salivary gland. I even caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye. This is pretty exciting stuff for me. Back in high school, my friend Jocelyn could gleek at will. We would sit there in biology class, begging "Jossie, please gleek for us!" I tried and tried, but could never figure out how to do it. For the most part, I haven't given this much thought over the last 20 years, but with my unintentional gleek at the dentist yesterday, my interest is renewed. I bet there are youtubes and ehows and Yahoo answers about it, but I figured I'd come to you first, ilx.

i do this when yawning sometimes, by accident. sort of embarrassing if it happens on the tube.

I am good at this. I cultivated the skill in elementary school, took time & effort but it's been well worth it all these years. we called it "skeetering" which always makes me laugh

I can't do it at will. But it does happen every once in a while -- and yeah, usually while yawning.

this was a major form of combat in my middle school and I was one of its masters

Be still my gleeking heart

― StanM, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 22:16 (twelve years ago)

― veryupsetmom (harbl), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 23:07 (twelve years ago)

it is by will alone i set my gleek in motion

― mookieproof, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 23:11 (twelve years ago)

― ty based gay dead computer god (zachlyon), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 23:16 (twelve years ago)

she's a supergleek, supergleek *now it's dripping from your hair and onto your nose*

― ty based gay dead computer god (zachlyon), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 23:18 (twelve years ago)

I cannot do this. A certain ILXor to whom I am married used to torment me with his ability to gleek when we were first dating.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

So this is like the oral equivalent of squirting and it's freaking me out! I din't realize this was something that happened any time other than yawning. I've tried to do it all day btw and I totally can't. So weird.

My dad can do it on cue, or used to be able to. Gross. Ive only had the accidental yawn versh happen.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― System, Friday, 7 June 2013 00:01 (twelve years ago)

So to extrapolate, 14% of ILX are squirters.

hi-5 to the other two!

― kate78, Friday, 7 June 2013 00:22 (twelve years ago)

gleek! I'm another who can't do it at will, only accidentally when yawning. I wish I could, I'd walk around being all
