brush-a brush-a brush-a brush me, i wanna feel dirty, microwave of the night

Riding on the wave of the toilet flush...
Nuke those toothbrush germs!

I wish I could link to individual comments directly; instead, let's try this:

#4: The first voice of dissent.
#6: What do I do with an electric toothbrush?
#11: What do I do without a microwave? Provide alternative plz.
#12: Why would they provide an alternative?
#14: I'm a dentist and I approve of this message.
#17: Remove the battery from your electric toothbrush, DUH.
#26: I'M A DENTIST AND I DISAPPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE.
#51: My battery is sealed in, dumbass.
#57: The First Ammendment says you have to provide the alternative!
#64: This is as stupid as Obama's tax plan.
#69: Enter citations!
#71: Winner.

And then it gets better: it's a government plot, it's the fault of CHINA, inexplicable invocation of Dick Cheney, let me show off the brand of my toothbrush! 110 comments and counting. [ETA: Bizarre science at #121!]

	PUBLIC POLL TIME Proper plural of 'toothbrush'? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	toothbrushes. You could in theory call one a "teethbrush", as it is not truly intended to brush a single tooth; but as that is not the accepted term for the item, the proper plural is unambiguously of the "brush" portion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I wondered because the proper plural of "passerby" is apparently "passersby," although that may have more to do with the form of the word (that you can pluralize brush, a noun, but not by, a particle.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Some compound words whose latter part can be pluralized behave like "passer(s)by", though. Like "attorneys-general" or "gins and tonic" or "surgeons-general". IIRC, it's because they're hierarchical terms, so it's the base element that gets pluralized, no matter which part of the word it is. In the case of toothbrush, "brush" is the base.
