Never heard anyone say wash their teeth. I brush my teeth.

We generally say TV.

Also having a boring Saturday night 😁

Brush teeth. Washing teeth sounds bizarre. Clean teeth fair enough, no idea why washing sounds wrong.

Watch telly. Change the channel with the gadget.

I clean my teeth and watch TV. Id probably be washing my teeth if I put the shower hose in my mouth and used soap.

Watch tv / telly and brush teeth

Theunamedcat · 29/07/2023 20:41

Wash your teeth sounds like something I say when I'm tired like hoovering the lawn 😂

Anyway, we watched the telly or TV and clean our teeth

Clean the TV, watch me teeth, then up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire

SmirnoffIceIsNice · 29/07/2023 20:55

Sometimes we refer to it as "the box", eg 'anything good on the box tonight?'. That's showing my age 🤣🤣

The other half was mithering earlier, teasy as an adder he was

Is washing teeth a regional thing? I’ve never heard it.

Oliesjola · 29/07/2023 21:17

Thank you …am glad I am not the only one with too much time on my hands 😂
TV or Telly and clean/ brush teeth for me . Husband refers to TV as Television and he washes his teeth 🙄Cannot explain how both of these examples have really irritated me . Probably need to get a life before anyone says that !
