Understanding this quote
The speaker recalls a repeated, deliberate gesture: whenever they saw a large tiled-roof house, they spat as they passed. Comparing the roof to a whale’s back emphasizes the house’s impressive size and shape. The spitting shows a sharply negative response, but the sentence does not explain why the speaker reacted that way.
