Closet ontologist that I am, I like to divide the stuff coming out our water key into two categories: "Spit," coming from our mouth, and condensed water vapor. The later comes from deep breathing and blowing out hot, steamy air (the bottom of our lungs is more humid than the top), the former from, uhhh, spitting the notes out.
Emptying the water key because of condensed water vapor is a good thing, made even better than the violist-gross-out factor of calling it "spit." If we are emptying
real spit, it should be able to gross out trumpeters as well!
