How to use spit in a sentence?

  1. Francis de Sales:

    It is the mark of a mean, vulgar and ignoble spirit to dwell on the thought of food before meal times or worse to dwell on it afterwards, to discuss it and wallow in the remembered pleasures of every mouthful. Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.

  2. Laura Weyrich:

    These particular organisms looks to be shared between Neanderthals and humans about 120,000 year ago, or about the time that humans and Neandertals were interbreeding, these interbreeding encounters were often described as brash, rough one-night stands, but if they were swapping oral microorganisms, it means they were also swapping spit. So, potentially kissing or food sharing would have been involved, which suggests that these encounters may have been much more friendly than anyone imagined.

  3. Russian Proverb:

    Do not spit in the well - you may be thirsty by and by.

  4. Jennifer Ellison:

    The Dow Jones industrial average’s going to be tough to get much of a rally now because it's so quiet and volume is already down, nobody’s interested in anything except making some modest tweaks to their portfolios for year-end spit and polish.

  5. Eric Swalwell:

    It's not only the people who had knowledge of what the president knew, the American people saw the police officers who were beaten and spit on and stampeded -- 50 of them injured and almost 20 of them hospitalized, one of them killed. The cafeteria workers who ran for their lives as well. There's a lot of witnesses to this crime.
