Why do the youth choose [the phrase] ‘Colgate [toothpaste] on a toothbrush’ [to refer to sex]? |
Participant: |
It’s groovy. |
Moderator: |
So is there something which they resemble? |
Participant: |
Maybe they resemble something |

Maybe I am thinking that ‘putting Colgate on a toothbrush’ means a female’s genitals and a male’s genitals. Maybe the toothbrush is a female’s vagina and the Colgate means the male’s sperms [semen]. |
All: |
Yes, it’s true! It’s true – eeee!! |
