Have a Sweet Tooth
What it means
Crave sugary things reliably enough that other people plan around it.
Where it comes from
Tooth once meant taste or appetite, so a sweet tooth was a liking rather than a body part. The usage goes back to around the 1300s, long before sugar was cheap.
The puzzle it came from
Have a Sweet Tooth was the answer to the Phrasicle of September 4, 2025. The clue read Have a ____ ____, and the words came out of a grid where every neighbouring pair makes a two-word phrase.
