Misting occurs when one lies down on one's back and has a beverage (preferably alcholic) poured directly into their mouth from about waist height. The inevitable overflow onto the face and body is a mist, hence the term misting. Misting became popular through the Toronto party scene where many individuals continue the practice to this day. Though mostly harmless, a good mister will build up to the performance by making a grand entrance in an elaborate costume or with theme music and generally make the most of the event.
