For anyone wondering, "to bite your thumb" isn't literally biting your thumb. It means to touch the tip of your thumb to the back of your front teeth and then flicking your thumb outward at someone. No actual biting involved - it was very akin to how we throw the bird these days.
Seconded. It's also the equivalent of flipping the bird at someone. It's referenced in Romeo and Juliet (I'm pretty sure). I learnt how to swear the Elizabethan way. I grew up near Stratford (Ontario not in England) and they're big on plays.
I have no idea why they interpreted that people would try to BITE their thumb or like,,,, get it all up in there, as idk a power move??? But yeah, i always thought it was mimicking biting thumb, LIGHTLY, and just flicking the tip of your thumb against the bottom of your upper teeth, outwards towards the person. My lower teeth are like halfway down the nail of my thumb, Bob immediately said to go further than the nailbed onto skin, and I just was so puzzled.

"Can we not talk about this? I'm deducting points..." - Mark *Continues to go into even greater detail while Mark stares in absolute horror the whole time.*
Sleep apnea can 100% be a cause for this if you snore. I have sleep apnea and my uvula swell if I sleep without my cpap machine for a day or two. It sucks.
I had the same issue, before I got my cpap and was diagnosed with sleep apnea my uvula would get swollen like 1-2 times every couple weeks....it indeed sucked.
I just got diagnosed with sleep apnea but ive known ive had it for years. But i woke up with a swollen uvula for the first time this morning and freaked the fuck out 💀 anyway, thats how i got here
I love his blunt "no" when wade is like "wanna see it". I have a similar feeling like bodily anxiety having someone talk about their bodily functions or thinking about it makes me uneasy cause it makes me fixate on mine this didn't seem to trigger it as much though.
Oh Wade, you’re not alone. I freaked out the first time I’ve had a swollen uvula. I couldn’t breath I was choking/gagging on my own UVULA. I’m pretty sure it’s caused be sleep apnea.
This happened to my brother after a night of heavy drinking. It was an allergic reaction to the alcohol. His uvula swelled up to the point he was chewing on it. He was admitted to the hospital the next day and had to sleep overnight in a sitting position with his upper body over the bed table like he was asleep at a school desk. And he did have it surgically removed the following day as it was deemed life threatening.
Was he drinking gin or rum by any chance? I'm allergic to evergreens and gin is made from juniper berries. I had it in a martini and had a bad reaction after barely a sip.
Thats happened to me before too! It happened when I had a sinus infection and my entire sinus passage was swollen, uvula included. He is absolutely right about it resting on the back of your tongue when you cough.
I HAD THIS SAME F*CKIN' THING HAPPEN TO ME! I was in college and woke up after drinking one night and when I would swallow I could feel it pull on my uvula. My doctor told me its actually fairly common for people after they drink too much alcohol and become dehydrated, which is what I had done.
NO BUT FR WADE IS SO REAL FOR THIS!! I experience this almost every time I get strep throat in the spring. that time specifically because my pollen allergies are SO bad during the season 😭
1:56 "I'm sorry you have the incovenience of having to hear about it; I lived it!" Mark might take away Wade's points, but that doesn't change the fact Wade still has a point. It seems there are many possible causes for a swollen uvula (uvulitis), but the most common one is infection with streptococcus bacteria. In Wade's case, if steroids worked then it could have been an allergy of some kind, but snoring or obstructive sleep apnea is also associated with it.
I used to get tonsillitis pretty much monthly, for YEARS, along with a swollen uvula and strep throat. Finally had my tonsillitis removed at 19, which mostly stopped it.
I had this happen when I drank too much one night and didn't drink any water. The combination of dehydration and snoring made it swell up and it was DEEPLY uncomfortable but it went away after 24 hours. Basically what causes it is if you sleep on your back and snore, that thing is getting knocked around a lot and pair it with dehydration it gets irritated enough to swell up to like, 5 times it's size and it's genuinely one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever experienced
As someone who also occasionally has their uvula swell up unexpectedly, I feel truly validated knowing I'm not the only freak of nature out there just choking on their own uvula for no apparent reason. In my case it's likely caused by GERD and chronic inflammatory issues, and it's usually not THAT bad, just slightly uncomfortable for however many hours it takes the swelling to go down.
I can relate to Wade I had a tonsillectomy (a surgery to take your tonsils out) a few months ago and it was swelled for at least a week. So imagine having to deal with a swollen uvula with a shitty sore throat and being almost unable to open your mouth for like two weeks
This happens to me pretty much every time I have a sore throat, no one I’ve ever told about this has had the same experience so it’s interesting to see someone else who understands how awful this is is 😭😭
this reminded me of the time my friend got uvula and urethra mixed up everyone in my friend group was laughing so hard at the lunch table, and the teacher who had lunch duty kept looking at us
Fun fact, the first time that my uvula had gotten swollen (it's a semi-frequent thing now due to allergies) was after Indy Pop Con...IN 2015...IT ALL COMES FULL CIRCLE. It was super terrible as well!
My dad had his uvula surgically removed for medical reasons. He has severe sleep apnea as well and his uvula would consistently impede his ability to breathe/sleep as a back sleeper. And yes he does very often have problems eating and drinking and choking a lot because the uvula is no longer there to block his airways properly, so i am rather knowledgeable in this topic of conversation already
wade just like "oh my god it was awful, wanna see???" and it's absolutely me 🤣🤣. when i cut my thumb open to the bone, i managed to get it to stop bleeding and my first thought was "quick, video before it starts bleeding a lot and covers the bone back up" and then picture then bandaid
6:01 that feels real. Has anyone ever swallowed while breathing or sucking in, and you forcibly stop breathing through your nose as you're trying to swallow? Try it!
5:25 "Well you can't just remove a uvula too ... Apparently it helps with stuff." Oh, you absolutely can. I also had pretty severe sleep apnea and when I tried the CPAP stuff that did *not* work out for me. I used it for a bit over a month and had worse sleep quality than not using it! My Dr. then told me about surgery called a Uvulopalatalpharyngeoplasty where they do, in fact, remove your tonsils (if you still have them) and laser off part of your soft palate and yes, your uvula as well. That worked and I highly recommend it over that CPAP crap.
@@doggo_woo No, I very much still have a gag reflex. In fact, I kind of had to 'learn how to swallow normally" again. It reshapes the entire back of your throat of course. I do now occasionally just choke for a bit on...basically my own saliva. Get a coughing fit for a few minutes until it clears. But I can actually sleep, and I'm fine with the trade-off!
So wade, listen up. I feel your pain. I too had problems with my uvula but please rest assured, you can get it removed or even partially removed. The procedure is called uvulectomy or partial uvulectomy. I had partial uvulectomy and since then, ive not had any problems. It was done by an ear nose and throat doctor. Look into it and that should help.
I had a cleft palate when I was born, and the UCSF craniofacial plastic surgeon Doctor Hoffman (so much love and respect for the man) actually *made* me a Uvula 😅 I can’t remember with what and I can ask my mother, but yeah, it’s a bit of an important lil fella
Sleep Apnea, could've gotten infected through an injury (burned from hot food/drink for example), could've been caused by bacteria from eating bad food, etc.
this actually happened to me this morning. Sleeping on your back with your mouth open causes your mouth to dry out and you uvula to swell up. Ive had it happen twice this year but never lasted more than a couple hours. Ive found IB profen and hot coffee help the swelling go down. Never have i gone to the doctor for it, just coffee and an anti inflammatory
Idk about sleep apnea, but I experienced the swollen-uvula thing for about a week after I had my tonsils removed. Wade is correct; living with that is pretty miserable, even for just a few days
I have had this happen, (3 times a year, yea that sounds about right, often triggered due to lack of sleep, or maybe a lot spicy/salty foods, not sure what triggers it) . I have it swell up and it reminds me more of a bloated worm, there is a discomfort when eating or even just swallowing. you don't want to eat until it goes away. usually goes away in 6, mabey 12 hours. but I tell you the worst experience, having a sliver of spice (or burnt aluminum...it was black and would not flex like a 3mm hair, this was from eating pasta) being stuck in the back of the throat, that soft spot behind the Uvula, and trying to use tweezers by myself and a mirror to remove it, with the gag reflex going into overdrive, thew up the pasta twice, but was able to get that sliver out. its like wanting to swallow, choking, but it worst when you swallow, and even worst when trying to use tweezers as you want to gag. never understood the gag reflect until that point... never looking at frozen lausanua the same again... the terror was real, as strange as that sounds
Makes me think of the remake of Romeo & Juliet, "I bite my thumb at you, SIR" And always found this to be a good way to derail someone angry at me when they're typically more confused than anything when I say that without that actual action.
Wade I feel like you've just described how my uvula felt. I never bothered looking at it, or getting it checked, but it feels like you can literally swallow it, right? It doesn't happen often, at least never 3 times in a year for me, thank god. Sometimes it felt like it could dangle about half way down the roof of your mouth. It's weird.
My dad had his uvula removed to reduce snoring, but he confirms that it makes swallowing food and water very difficult! (They did not tell him this when they removed it)
I know Im late to the party on this but for Wade: I have had this happen a few times when I have a bad night of heavy snoring. The same deal of it swelling enough to be able to touch your tongue. My favorite relief from this torture is MILKSHAKES. Just drink all the milkshakes and deal with the consequences of all that sugar and dairy later. It is better than difficulty eating solid foods,gagging, and choking on your own dangly-doo all day.
Some of the most common swollen uvula causes include: Allergies. Some allergens, like pet dander, dust, pollen or certain foods, can cause your uvula to swell. Environmental irritants. ... Snoring. ... Certain medications. ... Dehydration. ... Viral or bacterial infections. ... GERD (chronic acid reflux). ... STDs. Your welcome Wade!
yep, had this exact same thing happen to me. i had a serious case of strep throat for 2-3 weeks, and spent a good half of it with a ballooned uvula making eating a hassle. So on top of coughing and sore throat, now I was overtly conscious about how much my tongue moves in my mouth. Not fun at all lol
After having my uvula swell up nearly every other day last Fall, I can confidently say that Wade is not exaggerating. It is AWFUL. Sleeping on my back was about half of what caused it. Just real bad sinus drainage that would irritate it. Sleeping on my side made it happen less often. And yes, my gag reflex has been a lot weaker since then.
Had the uvula swell a couple times, doc not certain reason, but think it's either allergies or "silent" acid reflux causing irritation and swelling without the characteristic burn of heart burn
6:39 well Wade I was both eating and drinking. (Soda and Ice cream) when I saw that image. I feel like I've had that happen to me and I think it's either caused by eating a certain type of food or maybe it's something to do with your bed as I know Its common to wake up and find swelling.
Wade this has happened to me a couple times. Both times I got a cold right afterwards. Also, how did you not mention swallowing! Swallowing anything, including water, PULLS THE UVULA. It's painful af.
Wade show your doctor that picture and tell him/her that it chokes you even when you sleep and you want it removed, if it swelling so much that it literally chokes you all the time they will most likely remove it as it is a danger to your life. If it happens again go to your doctor and tell them you want it removed, take it easy buddy.
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD THAT HAPPEN THIS YEAR??? It's fucking AWFUL. Wade described it very accurately. It was fucking awful. Had to deal with it for 3 days.
Mark’s horrified face throughout the entire conversation is 😂
Totally. If you've never had this happen, even the thought of it is enough to really gross you out.
