In British English, gnashers is a word for teeth. Nobody uses it at the dentist or in a formal letter; it belongs to speech that wants a smile. You might hear “Look at those gnashers!” about a big grin, or “false gnashers” for a set of false teeth. The picture behind it is the verb , to grind your teeth together, so gnashers are “the things you with”. It is almost always plural. Younger people still understand it, though it can sound a little old-fashioned or cartoonish, like something a or a pirate in a comic would say.
一口牙(英式玩笑話;假牙也常這麼叫)
組成gnash(把牙齒磨在一起)+ -er(做那件事的東西)+ plural -s。不拆的話就是「拿來磨牙的那排東西」。
