I agree about the Chinese Winter Wolf. I've not been to China, but all over SE Asia and see it all the time. Also in S Korea. I do think it's more of a learnt habit than neccessity. And doesn't seem to have the same stigma as elsewhere.

I just read the title of the thread and thought, don't get me started on that! I hate that!

Ooh, nice to see such a title while eating. Puts some extra psychological spunk into my dumplings. Yum.
From what I hear, smoking can make the body produce greater amounts of saliva. I've personally never been a spitting type. Only when I really need to. I have done it a few times to cut off my brother's talking (he dislikes it even more than I do; honestly, if you knew what he sometimes talks about, you would sympathize with me ). Other than that, I just about never do it. I remember walking home from school one day with my friends. We were in the 7th grade or so. One of them asked me, since he'd never seen me do it: "Damn, Peeter, why don't you ever spit? Go ahead, just do it once," then added challengingly, "or maybe you just can't do it?" My answer was something along the lines of "nope, no sirre, can't do it. Nuh-uh, that's not for me." Okay, so I wasn't a very cool guy but the bottom line is I regarded smoking as too disgusting to just demonstrate it. |

I agree with Winter Wolf and Leonis, spitting is a habit in the region. People won't care where they spit, they'll just spit anywhere, even into your hands!

Some people will spit without looking at where they are spitting.

and I don't know why some people spit, it's pretty nasty. I've also seen quite a few girls at my school spit, which is all kinds of disgusting in itself. |
