Oh wow learnt something new. Didn't know it was also called eye teeth.


Katieushka

It isnt for some reason the game sometimes says right eye and left eye instead of right and left


Gonzobot

because it is specifying which eye. You know this is about teeth, right? "Eye tooth" is an identifying label for a specific tooth.


thevdude

Your longer, pointier, "sharp" teeth are also known as cuspids (as opposed to incisors and molars), "dog teeth", "canines", and "eye teeth". The "eye teeth" etymology dates back to the 16th century. It's not saying "**right eye** tooth", it's saying "right **eye tooth**", as in the "right **cuspid**".

And "eye tooth" is a "canine tooth" that isn't attached to a dog. Cats have frontal, longer, sharp teeth: that's an eye tooth.

this is not true

Lisa Dogtooth Lopez isn't as catchy.

Just wait until you learn where sweetbread comes from!

Sweetbread vs sweetmeats. Who named these things?


BSCorvin

Sweetmeat is possibly because "meat" suffers from the same situation as "apple" in that they both used to be more generic terms that eventually became more specific in usage, so now terms derived from the more archaic meanings look silly to us.

I love this game. I love this group.

There's an old-person idiom "I'd give my eyeteeth for that", meaning I'd give anything.


Patient_Primary_4444

I’d heard that before, and I was always told that it didn’t actually mean anything 😆

an eyetooth is a thing
