DefinitionShort: to spit on or at something or someone{N:001}
Glosses: to spit
Comments: In some societies spitting has quite a different symbolic meaning than it has in the Western world. In fact, in some societies in Africa, to spit upon a person’s head is to confer a blessing. It may therefore be necessary in the case of {S:04002606700004} to translate ‘they spat in his face’ as ‘they spat in his face to dishonor him’ or ‘… to show their anger against him.’
