Re: Why do men...
Lets face it, if you were working outside, breathing in the shit that passes as fresh air here, would you want to be swallowing that or getting rid of it.

Re: Why do men...
Phlegm may be of several different colors.
"Healthy" phlegm is normally clear or white; however, the initial state of the common flu when the phlegm is still clear can also be the most infectious period.
Yellow phlegm means that the immune system is responding.[citation needed] It is commonly taken to be a sign of bacterial infection and physicians often prescribe antibiotics as a result. When the cause is a viral infection such as influenza or the common cold, this treatment is thought to be incorrect. The development of antibiotic resistance may result from such overprescription.[1]
Greenish or brownish phlegm is nearly always a sign of infection. Greenish or rusty phlegm or phlegm with rusty spots can also be a sign of pneumonia and/or internal micro-bleedings.[citation needed]
Coughing up brown phlegm is usual for those who smoke. This is due to resin sticking to the viscous texture of the phlegm and being ejected by the body.[citation needed]
Another type of phlegm often associated with smoking is brownish gray in color. This variant is encased in clear saliva. When spread out, the brown-gray "core" is shown to be grainy in composition, as opposed to holding together. This is simply dust and other foreign matter and may be caused by damage to the cilia, as in COPD patients.[citation needed]
If you don't expel it, how do you know if you are healthy?

Re: Why do men...
maybe it stems from when men used to chew on tobacco and then spit out the gobs.
Still doesn't really explain why they still do it today though.

Re: Why do men...
It's absolutely disgusting of the first order.
If they must spit-and I am not convinced they do;why can't they
be more discreet about it????
Offensive decibel levels and mindset of javelin throwers. Yuuuuuuuuck

Re: Why do men...
Simple...because they are from Mars and they conform to other mens' expectorations !
The only time I have seen women spit is when something flies into their mouth...
