Talk:Chattering teeth (toy)

Eeeeeee.

I'd really like to know if it's more than someone's idle speculation that someone shouting "Jeeeeeeeus [sic]" actually means some kind of a connection to the Crimson King. I know that said Dark Lord's most memorable feat (besides of turning into a big fish) was screaming like a girl, but it still seems bit of a (read: one heck of a) stretch. Ville V.

I agree, this is the weakest link I have seen yet. It sould be removed. Maybe I will do it if no one objects. Also: Shouldn't the toy 'teeth' be a separate artcle from the short story 'teeth'? You may as well then combine the articles 'Cadillac' and 'Dolan's Caddilac' with the story stub being a sub-article in a 'references in popular culture' section of the Cadillac article. Anyone disagree? thegreattim 21:49, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Created a new article for the story, and moved the info accordingly.  :) -Elizabennet | talk 21:46, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

• Chattery Teeth → Chattering teeth
• Chattering teeth → ?

– The name of this novelty item is derived from the verb chatter since its teeth are clicking together repeatedly. The present participle of that verb is chattering [1], whereas chattery seems to be reserved for the "talking rapidly, incessantly about trivial topics" meaning of the word. Additionally—in general and in regard to the toy—chattering teeth [2] appears to be more commonplace than chattery teeth [3]. Finally, there are numerous examples of articles that make reference to Eddy Goldfarb, its inventor, and his chattering teeth. [4] [5] [6] [7] — Saaga (talk) 23:27, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Note: Chattering teeth has become a Stub article with significant content and so is ineligible as a requested new title for this article unless it is also proposed to be renamed. This request has been altered to reflect that fact. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. ^put'r there 09:55, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

• Support per nom. This does appear to be the common name of the subject. The Ngram speaks for itself. BD2412 T 00:01, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose the clear primary topic of chattering teeth is obviously the biological phenomenon; I created a stub for it. (t · c) buidhe 05:14, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
