toothpick definition and meaning

What is a "toothpick"?

A toothpick is a small, pointed, and slender stick, typically made of wood or bamboo, used for various purposes, primarily for removing food debris from between the teeth. Toothpicks are also commonly used for holding small appetizers together, such as cheese cubes, olives, or cocktail sausages, making them convenient for serving finger foods at parties or gatherings. Additionally, toothpicks can be used for craft projects, cleaning small crevices or corners, and even for testing the doneness of baked goods like cakes or muffins. They come in a range of sizes and designs, including plain, flavored, or decorative options, catering to different preferences and occasions.
