gleek
 v.— «“Gleeking” is the act of making saliva shoot through the space between the two front teeth. You’re “gleeked” if you get hit!…Boys, I’m told, partake in this wintertime sport, but not many girls. While older youth can partake, most gleeking is done by 12-to-14-year-olds.» —“Early teen years can be difficult” by James. E. Van Horn Gettysburg Times (Penn.) Feb. 3, 1988.
