Also in: Wackelzahnzeremonie (Deutsch) · dienteacto (Español) · dentspectacle (Français)

The weeks-long public demonstration of a wobbly tooth, performed with tongue and audience.

The loosetoothceremony tours every relative and every dinner, with the tooth pushed to angles of increasing daring. Removal is proposed by adults and refused on grounds of fear. The ceremony ends in one of two ways — the apple method or the thread method — and both are retold at school the next day.

Etym. — loose tooth + ceremony — the traveling show of the wobbly incisor.

Rel. — pocketmoneyledger
