the toothbrush effect

The act of doing something personal for the benefit of other people that in fact benefits the individual doing the action. For example, a person may brush his teeth in the morning so his breath won't smell bad, but benefit personally from having clean teeth. Simillarly, one might organize her office to appear organized to co-workers, but benefit from the organization.

Origin: Personal Information Management (PIM) 2009 Workshop, Vacouver, WA.

Fred's dentist appreciated the toothbrush effect, both because Fred's teeth were cleaner, and because Fred's breath smelled better.

the toothpaste defense

An excuse people on probation use when they report to probation and have to do a breathalyzer and they fail. They say they just brushed their teeth, which leaves small reading of alcohol in their mouth.

Probation officer: You failed your breathalyzer, you are going to jail.

Probationer: No I didn't drink, I just brushed my teeth before I came here.

Probation officer: don't try the toothpaste defense on me! You're going to jail!

snaggle tooth

1. A disgusting and lonely tooth in a person's mouth. It is usually the only one left and often it has never had any care. Most people who have a snaggle tooth also have rancid breath.

2. In a mouthful of teeth, the one tooth that protrudes in front of the others. It is always noticeable and very ugly.

1. Your grandma's snaggle tooth makes me want to throw up in her mouth.

2. Ew, his teeth are so ugly. Did you see that snaggle tooth?
