I was thinking “Howdy tooth man” and a little tooth wearing a cowboy hat or the word “No” for a more literal meaning to the idiom “Read my lips”


To be clear I’m not actually going to get a tattoo on the inside of my lip this is just a shower thought.

Attached is my best attempt at AI generating an image of a cartoon tooth wearing a cowboy hat.

    I worked in a factory near a very rough housing estate in the mid 80s. There were lots of tattooed knuckles and forearms but back then they were still associated with services or prison time.

    One chap had on his inside lower lip the words FUCK OFF, which he would use with great glee. He was a hard drinking, fighting nutter but he was also very funny and good to work with.

    Happy days.
