Etymology

The term 'toothing' is believed to have originated in the early 2000s within urban culture. It is associated particularly with the emergence of technology and social interaction, where individuals began using their voices and sounds to connect with others in informal settings. The core of the word 'tooth' is related to the act of vocal expression, and as slang evolved, terms like 'toothing' began to take on new meanings. It became popularized through youth culture, particularly in party environments where communication through sound became more prevalent. Over time, toothing has seen variations in use, but fundamentally it has remained connected to the social dynamics of interaction and expression.
