There are many ways to show how much contempt a person has for someone else. One classic way is through spitting. In general, spitting is considered a rather rude, disgusting and unsanitary habit. Spitting on another person is also a form of assault. When somebody is forced to wear that spit on their face? Well... that can be a bit insulting. This can be used by any character, whether they be the protagonist refusing to KneelBeforeZod, or the DefiantCaptive's retort to IHaveYouNowMyPretty, or the villain rejecting the hero's offer of a LastSecondChance.
