plema

Phlegm (pronounced /flɛm/) is a type of mucus, the sticky fluid secreted by the mucous membranes of animals. Its definition is limited to the mucus produced by the respiratory system, excluding that from the nasal passages, and particularly that which is expelled by coughing (sputum).

I got this definition of a phlegm on the internet. Typically, I would relate a phlegm with germs. I mean, when someone expells this phlegm from his or her mouth, it is considered as a dirty substance. It's just like a stool coming out from the behind.

Using our common sense, where do we normally do this expelling? In the washroom, right? If you are conserving water, you spit it in the washroom sink then wash it away with the tap water. If you are not conserving or you need to flush the toilet anyways, you would normally spit it into the toilet bowl. That way, everything goes. Hee hee.

I know some people who will unconsciously spit it on the ground, in the garbage, and with my observation... on the kitchen sink. Although you might argue with me that the sink is always flushed with water while you are washing the dishes.... hello! I find it very disgusting!

In our office, there were people doing this. So, there was a memo that came out and was taped into one of the cupboards above the sink. Being in a diverse city in this world, people who are doing this "act" are mostly Asians. Sad to say. I won't tolerate this kind of "act" in my home. Phulleeze!
