Toothcombs

Yes, didn’t you just know it, another :rant:.

But honestly, do you comb your teeth?

Do you know anyone who combs their teeth?

I brush mine regularly, but not once in all my umptynumpty years have I once felt the urge to comb them.

So. Pray tell me. What possible purpose could anyone have for a “toothcomb”, whether a “fine” one or any other kind?

I have searched with a fine-tooth comb, but nowhere have I been able to find one for sale. So why do I keep hearing people talking about them?

  1. are you in pedant mode again?!!!

  2. No, not again. Still.

  3. It’s a fine-tooth comb. Not a fine tooth-comb. That is, a comb with fine teeth, not a fine comb for your teeth.
    If you go through something with a fine-tooth comb you aren’t going to miss much, because not much could get through the teeth! 😀

  4. A comb with fine teeth. Like a pedant in a bad mood – nothing goes unnoticed.

  5. You mean you don’t comb your teeth? Have I been going wrong all these years?

  6. fine toothed………..I hate that too
