Spit may refer to:
VoIP spam or SPIT (Spam over Internet Telephony) are bulk unsolicited, automatically dialled, pre-recorded phone calls using the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). Telephone spam is comparable to E-mail spam, but due to its synchronous character, different mitigation methods are needed.
Voice over IP systems, like e-mail and other Internet applications, are susceptible to abuse by malicious parties who initiate unsolicited and unwanted communications. Telemarketers, prank callers, and other telephone system abusers are likely to target VoIP systems increasingly, particularly if VoIP supplants conventional telephony. The VoIP technology provides convenient tools (e.g. Asterisk and SIPp) and low-priced possibilities to place a large number of Spam calls.
The underlying technology driving this threat is Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). This technology has received significant support from most major telecommunication vendors, and is showing signs of becoming the industry standard for voice, video and other interactive forms of communication such as instant messaging and gaming.
Spit (alternately known as Uncle Sam's) was a nightclub and music venue located on Hempstead Turnpike in Levittown, New York. The club opened in 1978 and closed in 1992. Some well-known bands performed at the club including Madonna, Blue Öyster Cult and Duran Duran. Some performances were broadcast on WLIR radio. The building was set fire in 1994 by the owners in attempt to collect insurance. They were charged and convicted of arson.
Miracle is the second and final album by S.O.A.P.. It was released in 2000 and peaked at No. 20 in Denmark. The album's debut single, S.O.A.P. Is In The Air, charted in Denmark and Sweden, reaching No. 3 and No. 25 respectively.
Miracle is a 2004 American sports docudrama about the United States men's hockey team, led by head coach Herb Brooks, portrayed by Kurt Russell, that won the gold medal in the 1980 Winter Olympics. The USA team's victory over the heavily favored Soviet team in the medal round was dubbed the Miracle on Ice. Miracle was directed by Gavin O'Connor and written by Eric Guggenheim.
The film chronicles the journey of the 1980 US Olympic Men's ice hockey team. Then University of Minnesota head coach Herb Brooks (Kurt Russell) interviews with the United States Olympic Committee, discussing his philosophy on how to beat the Soviet team, calling for changes to the practice schedule and strategy.
Brooks meets his assistant coach Craig Patrick (Noah Emmerich) at the tryouts in Colorado Springs. Brooks selects a preliminary roster of 26—later to be cut to a final roster of 20—indifferent of the tryouts and the preferences of senior USOC hockey officials. He convinces Walter Bush (Sean McCann), the executive director of the committee, that he has their best interests at heart. Bush reluctantly agrees to take the heat from the committee.

The song was featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 movie Sliding Doors.
