1. I am voting for solvent.
Right now 100% agree with me. Lubricant is a risky path to tread today.

15. But, if spit were synthesized, I wonder if we could...
... reduce our dependence on oil. Hmm. Time to take my car in and get the spit changed.

10. Could that be related to its solvent properties?

18. I suppose that you could say that......
I'm not sure, though... I think it has more to do with chemical reactions than with dissolving things, but I could be mistaken... :shrug:

21. One thing is for sure: digestion would be difficult without it.

It's for decorating the plain, drab faces of Republican politicians.

7. If you spit on your cinch knor
when tying whatever on fishing line, spit on the knot draw it tight and it won't come undone.

8. Mother's Facial Cleanser
mother's spit & a kleenex will take any grime off the face of any child.

12. Time-honored grime removal--probably because of its dual properties...

20. The parents' roots probably explains it.
As an Okie, I can relate. But if "spit and chicken wire" is an Okie expression, too, I probably moved away at too young an age to have heard or remembered it.
