spit

But behind the scenes, hundreds of other spats will never see the light of day.

This current tit for tat spat involving the Reform UK leader Farage and the MP for Great Yarmouth, Rupert Lowe, has seen both sides flinging a lot of mud at each other.

He has complained that the Army "spit me out," an apparent reference to how he was pulled off certain duties because his colleagues notified superiors that he has tattoos that are considered white supremacist symbols.

He went under anesthesia 13 times in six months, required monthly breathing treatments that made him spit gray foam, and lost most of the brow and all the lashes around the affected eye.

He didn’t mention the spat in his 99-minute address Tuesday to a joint session of Congress.
