You're A Geek, I'm A Gleek that GLEEKS!

Yes today, I'm gonna tell you how the phrase I'm A Gleek can mean a totally different thing!

Because I've discovered that Gleek is not only a word used to describe some outcast member of society in a GLEE CLUB but instead it is a VERB!

What am I talking about?

Gleeking - simply put, is the action of intentionally compressing your tongue on your sub mandibular gland this part of your mouth here to project a spray of saliva!

Don't worry this isn't a biology lesson, and I'm no biology teacher, but thats what gleeking is.

For those of you who are still blur, has this ever happened to you?

Scenario - while you're eating or sucking something, or even yawning, suddenly this stream of saliva squirts out of your mouth like a small tiny spray hose spraying water, or probably a tiny leak in a water bottle?

Yes? No?

This might help, (you're strictly advised NOT to watch this if you've just eaten)



So yes that is gleeking, and here is how you can gleek at home! There are many ways to it but i find this the easiest to follow ( I still can't do it) . Source : WikiHow

Step

1. Feel under your tongue with the tip of your tongue or your finger. You should feel one little bump, and this is your saliva gland. Technically, it's the sub mandibular gland.
2. Yawn or eat sour candy to concentrate in the gland. If you use candy, make sure it is a hard candy or gum like a lollipop or a Warhead. Mustard also works very well. You can also build pressure in your saliva glands by rubbing the tip or side of your tongue against a sharp edge of your teeth. Something about the sensation it gives to your tongue builds the pressure in the gland, like you are eating food that makes you salivate.
3. Get in front of a mirror, so you can observe if you've gleeked slightly.
4. Push your jaw out as far as you can
5. Push the tip of your tongue just behind the one bump under your tongue. Push it down hard and let go.

HAVE FUN GLEEKING!
