Tall Tales: Slangs: Geet
Kiss mi teeth (KMT): This is such a specific, iconic cultural thing. It’s that sharp, sucking sound people make by pressing their tongue against their teeth. It expresses total annoyance, disapproval, or frustration without having to use a single word. If your mom tells you to clean your room for the third time, you might do a quick KMT. If someone says something incredibly stupid in a conversation, you’ll KMT. It’s the ultimate non-verbal way to say “I can’t believe this nonsense” or “you’re getting on my last nerve.” Once you know what it sounds like, you’ll notice people doing it everywhere.
