Juicio in that sense means "good sense" not judgement.

So, like... wisdom.
In this case yes. The meme has some truth in it, in that juicio can also mean trial or judgement - it's just that no one would interpret it like that in this context.
Am Spaniard. I've always interpreted as trial/judgement. Maybe I'm just dumb. I haven't even though of "good sense" until reading this comment.
Say that again
In italian it's literally "Judgement theeth"
In Indonesian, it's "lastborn tooth".
Incidentally, we keep track of translations on Wiktionary, and we recently added a picture dictionary so you can see the names of the other teeth too. ^_^
Edit: Also, incisors in Japanese are "gate teeth", which I think is lovely.
The root of the tooth do be looken kinda 🤌
yeah but I think the meaning is still "good sense"
A friend of mine had six wisdom teeth. Does that mean he's especially wise or especially judgemental?
If in US, means dentist got a new yacht
I was going to say that in Europe too, but at least in Spain, teeth of judgment can be removed by public healthcare.
I had that, so personally probably both
No, it means he's being judged for his sins.
Yes
My brother has none, spared him from getting them removed haha
I had all four of mine removed at once in the hospital, versus two at a time in the dentist's office. They hadn't broken the gums yet, which meant they'd have to do more than just pull them.
It was the right decision for me.
I did the same. The dental surgeon had giant football player sized hands which freaked me out at the time. I was too dumb to realize he likely used instruments with some reach.
Dutch: verstandskies, translated to wisdom tooth as verstand means wisdom, but if you change the intonation, you get the real original word: ver-stands-kies, meaning far standing tooth. The English word wisdom tooth is a wrong translation of the Dutch.
Wisdom tooth, one of the last four molar teeth to emerge on either side of the jaw, is so called by 1848 (earlier teeth of wisdom, 1660s, wit-tooth, c. 1600), a loan-translation of Latin dentes sapientiae, [...]
So now I think the Dutch far standing tooth is a wrong translation of wisdom tooth.
in German it's also wisdom teeth. I'm wondering why that is now..
Because they come in when you're an adult by old timey standards
I have all four of them, and they came out normal. You guys are so weird.
Tonsils, appendix, optic nerve vs retina, prostate...the human body is a hodgepodge of "just good enough" parts.
i had one of those bad boys insanely infected and the post-removal (surgery) pain was easily the worst i've ever experienced, and i've had my collarbone split in half from falling off a bicycle
On a scale of my worst surgeries infected wisdom tooth was absolutely the second most painful recovery. Fucking hell I wish opiates didn't give me hives
I've also split my collarbone in half falling off of a bicycle! Good times
One of mine came in sideways like that. Shattered in my jaw eventually. Had it removed right before everything closed down from covid.
Holy fuck I didn't know they could shatter like that. Mine just kept hurting more and more
It was, we shall say, unpleasant! I was taking a nap back in 2019, and I suddenly wake up to spitting out shards. Go to my main dentist, she says "Yeah, you'll have to see our surgeon". Which takes a month. I see the surgeon. 5 minutes at most "Yeah we can't do that shit here, here's a referral." A week later, go in. "Yeah, we'll surgery you, probably late January. Maybe late February.
But what about the sharp pointy bits in my mouth? They got those rounded off so they wouldn't cut my mouth (the tooth wasn't fully still in my jaw, it had a tiny part through the gum).
What about pain? IDK. Didn't hurt, shockingly like that. For the surgery itself they only gave me the big ibuprofen after insinuating I was a druggy, then felt bad when I explained I just wanted the big ibuprofen cause taking a handful of small ones makes my stomach sick.
I could make that side of my jaw click which turns out. Jaws should not do that.
Oof, that sucks. I actually have the opposite problem with painkillers. I keep saying "I'm allergic to opiates" and getting offered them anyways.
And yeah I also have the jaw clicking that I need to speak to a dentist about
In Greek they are also technically "wisdom" teeth, but that word in modern greek is mostly used for children when you tell em to be quiet and not troublesome. So it's pretty much the tooth of being nice. Technically the tooth of judgement.
In Dutch it's far standing teeth with just happens to be "wisdom" with a space in between
What if we call them a toth/ multiple teth because they make the teeth too close together? Is this too many streets ahead?
Little bastards Is what they are.
It's las muelas del juicio because you get to judge how high your pain threshold is when they're removed 🥲
Explains the behaviour of the Spanish Inquisition.
Does that mean Spanish dentists have comfy chairs? :::
