Please don't get me wrong that I'm a spitfree tight-***. I have a mother who does the powerful clearing throat thing and spits huge into the toilet or garbage can at home. It's an Asian peasant trait that she hasn't dropped.

But she NEVER does it outside of home.

And my father seldom does it, but he does it discreetly at home..actually more discreetly than mother.

So I have grown up..when and where to absolutely spit when you really need to.
