Whizzies
New word, learned from an endo and perio resident, separately. “Whizzie”, meaning “wisdom tooth”. Apparently these residents love their slang. I don’t think I like the word. Maybe it will grow on me? As I heard it today:
“It’s definitely not a maxillary tooth — look at the root structure. Now, I can understand your confusion—I mean it is a whizzie—but this is mandibular molar.”
