‘Gleeking’ is a gross human function that many people have no idea they can do.
Although you may not have come across the term before, it may be something you’ve unintentionally done at some point in your life.
Despite it being a natural phenomenon, some people consider it disgusting or embarrassing.
After learning what gleeking is, one person writes: “Y’all, have you ever heard of gleeking? I am traumatized.”
Another adds: “It might be the worst thing I’ve ever witnessed.”
“I just found out what gleeking is on TikTok and wow keep that s*** to yourself, I don’t wanna see that,” comments a third.
Gleeking began trending on TikTok after a doctor insisted that while you may not be able to at first, you can train yourself to gleek on command.
In a viral video, @therealtiktokdoc claims: “35 percent of the population can do it but only one percent can do it on command.”
