Subject: gleeking



i've been asked by students here about the origins of a term--[glik]

(gleek? gleak? gleke? gliek?) that's used by kids to refer to some way

of projecting water or saliva around the teeth and tongue. i don't know

this word and can't find it in my slang dicts. does anyone have a clue?



tia,

lynne
