What is a Spitball?
A small, crumpled piece of paper moistened with saliva and projected through a straw or pen-tube by forceful blowing.
Do I even need to explain what it is?! You have to admit, the definition alone evokes the spirit of tomfoolery from deep within. I remember having spitball wars at school and getting hit right on the cheek! Splat! Sometimes girls would get hit and they’d be like "GROSS!" but it was pretty funny. Hahahaha
O.k., this is probably the most immature thing I have mentioned but you just can’t deny it – this is retro tomfoolishness.

Spitballs were pretty much a critical part of jr high & high school.
We had one teacher that everyone picked on for whatever reason. Every time that poor guy would show us a movie, the tv would be covered in spitwads. Not to mention his blackboard, desk, and window blinds.
There was a math teacher that everyone hated pretty bad at my highschool, too. I watched this guy chew up an entire sheet of paper, and launch it at her blackboard. It made an awesome sound, and freaked her shit out bad. It was glorious, I tell you.

oh yeah, we had people on our middle school fire them off all the time! in the classrooms and the cafeteria. it even hit a cashier once! lol
now one time, (this doesnt count as a spitball but rather a "grenade" lol) this was probably one of the biggest things i have seen thrown in a class room. while in high school, while the teacher was writing on the board and out of no where this kid decides to launch an apple at the board, a very loud bang and the apple literally shattered on impact. we laughed for like 2 minutes

Oh, gross, I remember spitballs very well.....
::Third Grade::
Boy: Hey, William, let's shoot spitballs.
William: Yeah, sounds cool to me.
Me: *reading book*
Boy: *chewing paper wads*
Me: *Reading book*
William: *Readyaimfire*
Me: *spitball lands in my ponytail* What the--ugh! WILLIAM!
I hated those things....to this day I hate the sight of the little buggers, lol.

We had a girl with a frickin' mane in front of us in our chemistry class. I sat next to one of the star basketball players in our high school (remarkably, we were pretty good friends) and would litter her hair in spitballs nearly every day.
I've never received one in anything but the most playfull sense, probably because everyone knew that I'd fuck a nikka up.

I used to sit next to the most annoying kid in my class back in middle school. He loved to throw spit balls at me and I made my own and threw them at him. He was the spit ball master (as what we'd called him). That was in the late 1980s.
The girls thought it was soooo gross, they refused to sit by him in class.

Yeah, but did any of you actually rig a straight pin to the end of a spit wad and launch? I did . . . it was like a home-made blow-dart!
The worst one I ever got was in the eye when my class was watching a video in 6th grade. The kids in my class use to use hollowed out pens instead of straws so they could make bigger wads that shot further.
One time in 6th grade the girls and the boys got into a fight with spit balls and the girls were hitting the boys with their backpack purses.

I think it might be because some people are worried that the person who's spitting the spit balls might have meningitis; which is passed from person to person via saliva.
