Gleeking: What is it?
Well, it is both awesome and weird.
Quote
"Gleeking is when saliva is ejected from your sublingual and submandibular salivary glands. These glands are positioned under your tongue on the floor of your mouth. Their job is to produce saliva. Gleeking may occur when you unintentionally apply pressure to this area, typically when you yawn, talk, or eat. If the pressure is applied the right way, it squeezes the glands and forces out the saliva in a spray."
— Anna Giorgi
For many who gleek, it usually happens when you yawn. If you are a gleeker and you are facing a friend or family member and yawn, they may give you a funny look as their faces are covered in/dripping from your spittle.
