flossing
Between-teeth thread work
Flossing is cleaning between teeth with dental floss—a thin thread worked back and forth to remove food particles and plaque.
The verb also describes a showy display of wealth or success: He's always flossing his new watch on Instagram.
This slang sense, from hip-hop culture, suggests polishing oneself to a shine, like teeth.
