Not sure, but I suspect for the same reason that a kiss is considered intimate. The mouth is a nasty place and to share those fluids, welcome or unwelcome, has an intimacy / violation component to it.

You know how dogs do that thing ? They blow out snot through their nose. and how cats.. will open their mouth and do that hiss and spit at you.
thats why.

dood you are one of the strangest posters on these boards imo. You come up with really odd questions fairly often.

I can't tell whether or not you're being sarcastic, but I actually agree.

it's kinda gross is why, unless its unintentional, then its kinda like w/e man, as long as its not really nasty or chunky.
now which is worse, being spit on or pissed on? hmmmmm..

You spit to get something gross out of your mouth. (usually)
So I can see the relation.
Kissing is a throwback to sucking tit as a kid...plus licking is involved. People don't lick something gross on purpose. (usually)
Of course- some people break all the rules.

Yeah, plus you usually spit on something that has been deemed of less worth than other places (i.e. the dirt as opposed to the kitchen floor), so spitting on someone communicates that they have the same worth as a piece of dirt. Nice pic BTW, did ya take that outta yer personal pr0n collection?

Why is spitting at all considered vulgar?
Spitting in the street is generally frowned upon when mucus is one of the ways the body gets rid of nasties, better out than in...
