This occurs because drooling and oral messiness tends to invoke a {{Squick}} response in many people, making phlegmings a convenient visual shortcut for invoking PrimalFear. For instance, it may show anticipation of a good meal (''e.g.,'' the heroes) in predator characters. Or it may be a sign of disease, like rabies.

In comic books and animated works, one way to demonstrate that a character is a no-nonsense BadAss or a DefangedHorror is to show them with strands of saliva, phlegm, drool, or some other mucus dangling between their teeth. Popularized by the various RobLiefeld [[FollowTheLeader clones]] during the DarkAge of comics, but examples predate that period.
