The internet slang term “German Toothbrush” refers to a humorous phrase used to describe the practice of not brushing one’s teeth but using mouthwash instead. It suggests that Germans, known for their efficiency and pragmatism, would find this shortcut a practical way to maintain dental hygiene.
Examples:
In a conversation about oral care:
Person A: I’m running late in the mornings, so I started using mouthwash instead of brushing my teeth. It saves time!
Person B: Haha, you’ve adopted the German Toothbrush, huh? Well, it might not be as effective, but it’s better than nothing, I guess.
On a social media post:
Person A: Just found out my roommate has been using mouthwash as a quick substitute for brushing his teeth! Should I be worried?
Person B: Don’t stress over it too much! It’s called the German Toothbrush, and some people prefer the convenience. Encourage him to brush properly though, for better oral health.
