By then she was leaning with both elbows upon the counter beside the post-office, bored beyond words with life as it must be lived to judge from her tone and her attitude. "For Heaven's sake, Pete," she went on languidly, "can't you scare up a novel, or chocolates, or gum, or ANYTHING to kill time? I'd even enjoy chewing gum right now it would give my jaws something to think of, anyway."
To have some teeth longer and shorter than others, denotes a person to be of a good apprehension, but bold, disdainful, envious and proud.

"Because I can't make that dratted engine go," she said, "and because I believe Hutchins would drown us all before she'd take any help to him. It's my belief that she's known him somewhere. I've seen her sit on a rock and look across at him with murder in her eyes." A little wind had come up, and the wretched canoe was leaking, the chewing gum having come out.
I have a colt about one year old that continually delights in chewing up harness, ropes, chews on the manger and, in fact, anything it can get a hold of.

He spoke slightly of the Duke of Albemarle, saying, when De Ruyter come to give him a broadside "Now," says he, chewing of tobacco the while, "will this fellow come and give, me two broadsides, and then he will run;" but it seems he held him to it two hours, till the Duke himself was forced to retreat to refit, and was towed off, and De Ruyter staid for him till he come back again to fight.
The old style of chewing one end of the pillow, and holding it the way a retriever dog holds a duck, till the pillow case is on, and then spanking the pillow a couple of times on each side, is the best, and it gives the woman's jaws about the only rest they get during the day.
The very idea of a cart led to the idea of something too heavy to be carried without mechanical aid. What? Bags of radioactive ore dust? He was still tossing in his bed and chewing the data fine when the dogs began to bark. He listened. The barking was far away, probably a mile or more. There were farms on the road to town, and probably all of them had dogs. Scotty spoke in a whisper.
