gnashers

Gnashers is a term commonly used to refer to teeth, particularly in informal contexts. It is an onomatopoeic word, likely derived from the sound made when teeth grind together. While "gnasher" can be used to describe any tooth, it is often associated with the incisors, the front teeth used for biting and tearing. The term can also be used playfully or affectionately, for instance, when referring to a baby's first teeth or the teeth of a pet. In some regional dialects, "gnashers" might be used to refer to dentures or false teeth. The word itself carries no inherent negative connotation, though the act of "gnashing" teeth, which is the grinding of teeth, is often associated with anger, frustration, or pain. Therefore, "gnashers" simply refers to the anatomical structures responsible for this action.
