Please help with this saying ' Over the lips, past the gums'
I saw it in 'Lost'. When Hurley were going to eat some sea urchin reluctantly, he said this and swallowed the sea food. What does it mean?

It's kind of a toast thing, a rhyme that basically means that he ingested the food - put it in his mouth and it went further down past the gums - the pinkish-red flesh at the base of your teeth.
