Actually, the champion spitters of all time were a very small sect of Hassidic Jews who lived in Tennessee. In fact, they even concocted their own tobacco blend, designed to keep a consistent chaw and provide the right consistency to the projectile. My father heard about it years ago when he worked for Brown and Williamson. They sent him to Tennessee to track down the fellows who had invented this form of chewing tobacco. He saw a bunch of guys at the end of a street practicing their spitting, and stopped a kid who had a handful of tobacco. "Pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga Jews' chews?"

Not that I don't believe you. Just curious.

Dear Faldage: you accidentally reminded me of sign I saw many years ago in a gas service station restroom: "We aim to keep this room clean. Your aim will help."

F>Wanna etymologize that for us, tsuwm?
and give away my hogwash® methodologies? sure, it's from ambia, a euphemism for the tobacco juice spat after chewing + bi, doubly, + bent, braced or aimed + -ist, designating a person who practices some art or method
