I think the message is referring to people who get really angry. Those who get angry at someone, might be inclined to spit at them. So rather than spit at them, they should show forgiveness and swallow their spit (suck it up - so to speak).
...and then possibly, do something like "Love thy neighbor" ?
Now, it could also be interpreted as a pornographic message too. But I won't go into a detailed description of that one. Maybe some other member here has more experience in that department.

Yes, that's how I understood it. There's also wine tasting, you spit or swallow.

Sounds like a personal problem that you need to talk about with Mrs. K.

Now when I wake up each and every morning, I'll think she's not forgiving me for something.
Every morning?!?!?!
Hey K,
That church is near you. Maybe you should go there and find out the real story.
