Delta's bizarre sign of affection

It brings new meaning to a Love Spat, but Delta Goodrem and Brian McFadden revealed on Austereo this morning that they spit in each other’s faces as a sign of affection.
I’ll let that sink in for moment.

What started as a call-in segment about whether it is ever appropriate to spit in the street, ended shattering the wholesome image of Our Delta.

As the Adelaide morning crew merrily chatted and took calls about how gross public spitting is, guest Brian McFadden offered up his own story.

When he and Delta were courting and driving through Europe, they had a spitting game.

Delta would start it by casually lobbing a small load of spittle on Brian’s face. He’d return fire and the game would escalate until they were covered in phlegm.

“It was a sign of affection,” he told listeners.

Obviously someone in the morning crew thought this was just too far out, so they called Delta.

Yup, she giggled and confirmed the story. Oh the laughs. It was their very own quirky way of showing affection to one another.

Hear the audio of Delta and Brian talking about their affectionate gobbing at each other. (Biggest Loser fans note the familiar lisp of Cosi.)

Sure they still had the ‘sweetie’ and ‘darling’ and ‘honey’ and were laying it on during the phone exchange, but nothing topped the beatific image of Our Delta with a face full of gob.

Maybe I’m a bit squeamish. I shudder when I see people sucking each others face in public. A kiss is fine, sure, but when I see a couple on a train working their tongues, I just feel a bit Sunday Morning.

Then again, I don’t like hearing people’s little terms of endearment either. A colleague of mine broke off his engagement when his fiancé persisted with the schnookums and constant name rhyming in a baby voice. He went up in my estimation after that.

I’ll leave the question of whether Delta and Brian’s sign of affection has merit, but also seek any other revolting signs of affection between couples that makes you want to hose them.
