The skill of being able to detect a foreign item in your mouth, notably when found in food, and to manipulate it with the tongue, teeth and lips to eject it alone.

Adept manipulo-masticators compete by having meals together of food that has deliberately been adulterated with hair, small stones, pieces of pith, etc. The winner is the one who has collected the most items.
"When you spit at people, it's cool to have sufficient powers of manipulo-mastication to retain your chewing gum."
