Ever find yourself using a toothpick (the kind made of wood) after dinner/ingesting food...?
I have, all my life, done this...to dislodge irritants from my teeth. A few of my girlfriends have done so, as well. My last few girlfriends regard this practice as...
Uncivilized.
So, do I - and as such, I try to do so, in private.
What do you think?
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.
I don't buy toothpicks, nor do I use them. I don't know why, but I kind of associate 'toothpicking' with my grandpa. LOL I've just never really seen anyone of my generation using them.
Like flossing your teeth, I wouldn't have an issue with using toothpicks if that is your preferred method of teeth cleaning after a meal, provided it is done in the bathroom and not while still sitting at the table in front of me (that goes for both in public and at home).
I pretty much see any method of "irritant dislodging" when it comes to the human body as something that should have no witnesses.
I have a wire that goes behind my teeth. Stuff gets stuck in it sometimes, and I have to use a toothpick to dislodge it, or brush my teeth. I do do it in private though, because I don´t think it´s very attractive.
I am, at this particular moment, very amused by your use, or overuse thereof, of commas and the resulting phrase structure. It is like, though I cannot be certain, some strange way of adding emphasis to a mundane topic or rather, trivial point. I do, liken it, in some ways, to the act of, reading a law textbook.
Moreover, I don't particularly appreciate watching foreign objects flying at me after being flicked from ones mouth. Nor do I enjoy watching someone try to do the same thing as a toof pick with their tongue, making weird hissing and suckling noises, what is with that?
i like to cut my toenails at the dinner table! does that count! *giggles*
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
I only use a toothpick when I have my hair slicked back, hard as a rock. Wearing a black silk shirt with the top three buttons left open accompanied by some tight shiny black slacks and black cowboy boots. A big thick yellow gold chain with matching watch, bracelet and several rings. I splash on way too much Aqua Velva and then, only then, will I place a toothpick in my mouth. I'll let it hang a bit from my lip when I talk, purely for effect.
So taking particles from your teeth before you get to brush them out (since no one carries paste and brush on them constantly) is uncivilized? Now if your doing the whole teeth sucking thing while doing it, then that may move toward uncivil behavior, however, doing it modestly I think is fine.
I know, grow your pinkie nail long and dig with that. Might be considered not so uncouth.
So is burping okay, or should we just explode?
better to use dental floss and use it on the comfort room to be more etiquette cal
