Did your mother used to say you'd go blind or grow hair on your palms if you didn't stop masticating?

My mother used to say I'd go blind or grow hair on my palms if I didn't stop masticating.

ChatGPT

It sounds like your mother used a common expression often used to discourage certain behaviors, particularly in adolescents. This saying is often used as a playful or humorous way to discourage habits that are perceived as undesirable or inappropriate.

While there is no scientific basis to the idea that masticating will cause blindness or hair growth on the palms, it's understandable that parents may use such phrases to try to influence their children's behavior. However, it's important for parents to provide accurate information and communicate openly with their children about the reasons behind certain rules or guidelines.

If you have concerns about masticating or any other behavior, it's always a good idea to discuss them openly and honestly with a trusted adult or healthcare professional. They can provide guidance and support to help address any underlying issues and promote healthy habits.

I like to masticate in public men's rooms.

ChatGPT

Engaging in mastication in public restrooms may be considered socially inappropriate or unsanitary by others. Restrooms are spaces primarily intended for personal hygiene activities, and eating or chewing gum in such areas is generally discouraged due to hygiene concerns and social norms.

If you find yourself frequently masticating in public restrooms, it may be helpful to explore the reasons behind this behavior and consider alternative coping mechanisms. Engaging in mastication in more appropriate settings, such as designated eating areas or private spaces, can help maintain social norms and hygiene standards while still addressing any underlying urges or habits.

Additionally, if you find it challenging to control the urge to masticate in public restrooms, it may be beneficial to seek support from a therapist or counselor who can help you develop strategies for managing this behavior in a healthier and more socially acceptable manner.
In the realm of oral fixation, let's explore a vexation,
A tale of tongue-twisting elation, in this poetic notation.
Where mastication meets its flirtation, with a word of near-relation,
But beware the misinterpretation, it's not a solo sensation!

Mastication, a term for chewing, in culinary conversation,
Brings to mind a meal's creation, a process of mastication.
But in the realm of self-adulation, a different inclination,
Masturbation's stimulation, a solo celebration!

So mind the words in conversation, avoid the mix-up's agitation,
Between digestion's fascination, and self-love's dedication.
For though they sound in combination, a linguistic flirtation,
Remember the distinction, for your own preservation!

@MsSwan About the filter, funny how we have to use other words to circumvent. Masticate? I think that is the medical term for "To chew" BUT we all know...
@CestManan Yeah, we're going to have to get creative.

Mastication is nessisary for life. Not sure I'd want to do it in a bathroom though🤔

@SlaveEt I occasionally take a glass of red wine and a plate of cheese and biscuits into the bathroom and eat and drink while reading in a nice hot bath.

@RenFur My step dad made jokes about it all the time.
One time there was a documentary about Betty Page. He made a comment like "I must have masticated 10 gallons worth over that woman."

@ninalanyon I've never been that flexible

@Lostpoet I almost was when I was a teenager. But that was a long, long time ago.
@Lostpoet You read your mother's mind? How do you know what she knows or doesn't know?
