I have. I cover the bowl with pad of my palm and flick it. It works but not as well as a pipe cleaner.
A lot of folks, myself included, here do, judging from the older thread.
Alaska, hold the pipe by the bowl and "sling" it hard away from the body, some liquid will/may gravitate out the mouthpiece.

When you get a gurgle from moisture build up you can cover the top of the bowl and flick the liquid out of the stem.
Weird. Thankfully I have not had any gurgling problems since I started employing the breath method.
Depends on how strong and long your "slinger" is I suppose. It all depends on how much centrifugal force you can generate. With enough force you might be able to eject the mouthpiece from the pipe. :

Every time I try to do this it feels like my eye is going to pop out of my head. I must be doing it wrong. I much prefer the ol' snork n loogie.
I just keep stumbling into threads that leave me confused about life and wondering where the pole athletes and baseball players come into the equation - and now the list includes farmers, flingers, and slingers, and snork n loogies....
I am just so confused. Where does it all end???? Medic!

Similar to sable, I haven't a need for slinging nor many pipe cleaners (maybe one in ten bowls?)

I do it all the time. If you're good with your aim, it's a useful gesture for underscoring a point in any difficult conversation. My only complaint is that upsetting the ash/ember while flicking a nice splatter of "shank juice" across, say, your boss's lunch sometimes leads to more relights. Depends on what you're smoking, though. With a nice loose stem, artful flicking can also be lethal if the situation requires it.
I dissasemble, and blow through the stem. When I'm driving I have to take my hat off so it doesn't hit the door frame, while my head is turned, to blow it out of the window. One time I caught a bad wind direction, and the nicotine saturated spit actually hit me right in my left eye. Burned for a long time.
Hopefully someone will learn from this lesson.

Spit?? As in saliva? If so, doubly gross and a suggestion to rethink how you smoke.
Condensation? If so, dry the tobacco more, slow down, load evenly.
You jest?
They are different in the extreme, though both can cause gurgling, both are moisture in liquid form.
