In dentistry, a "bartell" is the
name given to a tooth that is an anatomical anomaly. In order to be labeled a "bartell", the remaining teeth in one'
s grill must be generally accepted as
normal, or even above average, thus drawing even more attention to the one "ugly duckling" or "retarded cousin". Examples of bartells include a single yellow tooth, a single decaying tooth, or a single chipped tooth. Bartells can originate from any number of ways, including a cavity, genetics, or an errant
beer bottle drunkenly thrust into one's mouth. A "bartell" can transform one's entire appearance, making even the hottest chick look like an inbred
redneck.
"Damn son, that girl would be fine but I
just can't look past her frickin' bartell."
"The young
lady's beautiful smile had unfortunately been sabotaged by a
lone bartell."
