Sorry, but physiologically, swallowing is easier than spitting. One action only. Spitting is several:- collecting the bolus, taking it to the front of the mouth, changing the shape of the mouth before energising the oral muscles to force the bolus out of the mouth. All of this requiring concentration which should be being used for other purposes. Anyone else aroused?

Have you ever played football? OK. I played football from 11-15. Combative central defender. I've also played Rugby (hooker). And a bit of cricket also as a youth. I can't recall ever spitting. Never needed to. Always found it something that grubby little scrotes do. No horse to back in this particular race. But I'm not convinced it's "necessary" based on my own personal experience. Must be something that some people do and some don't. I'm a grubby little scrote btw.

I do a bit of cycling these days. Swallowing the crap you generate is more difficult than spitting it out. I'm not bothered if the theory says otherwise, the reality is quite different. For me, anyway. As downunderhatter points out, maybe it's about the individual. Some of us are scrotes. Hey ho.
I noticed this morning on my ride I was both dry in my throat and generating stuff in my mouth. It's an odd thing, but there it is. Provided you weren't behind me on Long Hill you'll have been fine 😉

I didn't necessarily mean you are grubby little scroats NOW. Just that grubby little scroats used to stroll around the council estates of Hyde gozzing everywhere. I suspect because it made them look hard in their minds rather than for any biological reasons such as the ones you are outlining.
Just thought I should clarify. Before anyone quotes me off on t'other board as causing people to spontaneously combust by my offensiveness...again

Yeah, I should clarify: I don't go round gobbing at the feet of old ladies down the local shops. 🙂Although some of them have dispensed with queuing etiquette in their later years...

Our Sunday League football season has now started a little later and shorter than usual.
I'm player/coach (again), seriously unfit (again) and happy with the odd 15 minutes anywhere on the pitch.
My first appearance was to replace our goalkeeper with 20 minutes left. It was a really wet day so we had left our bags in the changing room. So I had to swap shirts and gloves with the keeper as mine were in my bag. I'm not sure which elbow he'd been sneezing into. Or whether he had been spitting on his gloves. I just got on with it. (And spat on his gloves).
