toothing
 n.— «Toothing takes bluejacking to an altogether different level or ballpark. An anonymous guide to toothing says: “Toothing is defined as a form of anonymous sex with strangers—usually on some form of transport or enclosed area such as a conference or training seminar. ‘Toothers meet by first connecting suitable equipment—such as a modern phone or palmtop computer. Users ‘discover’ other computers or phones in the vicinity and then send a speculative message.» —“Cellphones and Englishmen” by Tony Deyal Daily Nation (Barbados) Sept. 18, 2004.
