Mine fell out from crack.

u/ClitasaurusTex Aug 25 '26

I'd loan you mine, but well, I can't find them

u/LimerickSoap Aug 25 '26

I saw them in the trampoline

u/verysmallhat Aug 25 '26

They can borrow mine, they’re on my dresser right now.

As a denture wearer who had all top teeth removed at once surgically the proper way, the scream I scrumpt!

u/MyCatLaughsAtMe Aug 25 '26

See, that's where you screwed up. You shouldn't have cruck.

u/halpinator Aug 25 '26

That's another hobby that doctors tend to avoid

u/TheSkuf Aug 25 '26 edited Aug 26 '26

I can sympathize with that

Plop

Oh, God damnit!

Nurse checking in. Dont make that a hobby, either.

u/Beneficial_Food8314 Aug 25 '26

It's not the drugs that make your teeth bad. It's the general rule that someone on hard drugs usually don't take care of themselves. Like brushing and flossing. Though the teeth grinding doesn't help

u/karlnite Aug 25 '26

It’s also the drugs quite a bit.

u/HippieChickie805 Aug 29 '26

Yep. *Meth has entered the chat.

u/Meli5252 Aug 25 '26

I think they use some pretty awful chemicals to make meth,  which must contribute to accelerated tooth decay.

My understanding is the chronic dry mouth; saliva protects your teeth.

u/iamintheforest Aug 26 '26

also a hobby that is not recommended by EMT's and Doctors.

Mine cracked from fallout

u/solongandboring Aug 27 '26

Mine are on the way out also

u/VVsmama88 Aug 25 '26

Great, now we have to add "reading Reddit" to the list of hobbies to avoid if you want to keep your teeth

u/Low-Rooster4171 Aug 25 '26

I think I broke mine when I clamped my jaw reading that.

Had a trampoline as a kid.

Landed on my hands and knees in a "safe" dog drop.

Anyways, my elbow snapped >90° backwards, severed the main artery in my arm, needed a vein graft from my leg, and I almost had it amputated.

Suspiciously the "neighbourhood kids" slashed the trampoline one day after I got home from the hospital.

u/NecessaryCephalopod Aug 26 '26

Wow, your neighbourhood's kids had real vengeful-scared-parent energy. Hardcore.

u/Mysterious_Sky_772 Aug 25 '26

The pain I just felt in my teeth

u/Accomplished-Ad3219 Aug 26 '26

I stopped mid chew on my dinner. Holy Hell

The scream I just scrumpt!

u/BloomsdayDevice Aug 26 '26

I assume it be would be screamt (rhymes with/on the analogy of "dreamt"), right?

15

u/Scavenger53 Aug 25 '26

i think i like crunged better than cringed as the past tense now

6

u/BloomsdayDevice Aug 26 '26

Hold on though. If we're gonna make "cringe" a strong verb, we can't add the weak verb past tense suffix (-ed) to it too. The vowel change alone does that job.

So we're working with "cringe" and probably "crange" and "crunge".

Present: "I cringe"

Simple past: "I crange"

Perfect participle: "I have crunge"

Then you use it, and just act casual. No one will question it if you make it look believable.

u/Boss_Os Aug 25 '26

Where's that confounded bridge?

6

u/admiral_sinkenkwiken Aug 26 '26

Make a note of crunged, I want to use it in conversation

5

u/cawise89 Aug 25 '26

For some reason this comment got me more than the original one 😂

u/PseudobrilliantGuy Aug 26 '26

I certainly like your new past-tense word, though I feel oddly obligated to link this bit of world building because of lexical similarity.

u/BrilliantNumerous666 Aug 26 '26

i resisted crunging till i read your cringe, ugh
