spitting

Spitting is when someone intentionally sends out saliva from their mouth, often with force. This can be done for various reasons.

When people spit, it's usually because they want to get rid of something from their mouth, like phlegm or an irritating piece of food. They might do this while they're sick or just as a natural reaction to feeling uncomfortable in their throat. Some athletes, like boxers, also spit during matches for energy or to show focus and aggression. In some parts of the world, people may also spit on the ground when they're annoyed or frustrated, but it's considered impolite and unhygienic in many cultures.
