"Every tooth in a man’s head is more valuable than a diamond." ~Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote, 1605
Flossing, by the Urban Dictionary definition, describes an act of showing off something of value in hopes of frequently getting laid. I am here to explain that this idea and word originated in the Dental community with a thin piece of twine, commonly referred to as "Floss". When used properly, said Floss can in fact help one to show off something of value. That something being a fantastic set of original, healthy teeth, regarded throughout the world as being quite sexy.
