Tell me my H is a weirdo. What do you call this?

[Deleted]

Sorry for the crappy screen shot, but what do you call the white string in this picture?

[mrslefty]

Floss or dental floss

[shevacc]

dental floss?

[fiddles]

It's floss.


WTF does he call it?

[Deleted]

He calls it tooth floss. Both words. Tooth floss.

Like do you have any tooth floss? I need to floss my teeth.

I think the only acceptable thing to do is pack up betty dog in the middle of the night and flee. I can't let her grow up in a house where someone calls it tooth floss.

[minion]

Floss.

[picksthemusic]

Floss or dental floss. The action if flossing.

[Deleted]

And it's not like he grew up somewhere weird. The guy is born and raised bellevue!

Tooth floss. SMH.

[miniroller]

You know you have to drop tooth floss into conversations for the next 30 years now, right? Preferably in social settings. Sitting at a table of 8 friends after dinner at a wedding reception, "Does anyone have any tooth floss, by chance?" Straight-faced, though!

[BlackCanary]

Floss.

[madDawg228]

Ditto PPs, definitely floss.

You're H is a weirdo.

I can at least understand clothes washer because there is also often a dish washer.

I suddenly worried you were going to say he calls it dental string! I'm not sure which would be worse.

That shit is FLOSS or dental floss if you want to be fancy. Tooth floss? WHAT?! I agree its like foot socks...what kind of socks ARE THERE?! I mean I GUESS there is butt floss...but really. If you say pass the floss someone isn't gonna go "tooth or butt" ?

agreed, I guess I *usually* say washer and dishwasher, but I can see saying clothes washer.

[spa]

lolol tooth floss

I just tell H grab the floss

[theoriginalbean]

Ha! Definitely just floss.

I like to call thongs "butt floss."

[mrslefty]

I can't help but say tooth floss in a very perky voice.

[karebear219]

In Mr. Husky's defense I think we might have called floss tooth floss growing up. Maybe it's a native Washington thing? My dad has a thick warshington accent. Or maybe we're all just special

For the record I call it floss or dental floss now though.

I just did a quick Google search to make sure that tooth floss wasn't some antiquated Washington word and Google doesn't even recognize tooth floss.

It just redirected me to dental floss. And now, if some bored Google employee or the NSA decides to look at my search history they'll think I'm the weird one for searching tooth floss.

I can claim asylum somewhere for this monstrosity, right?
