toothpicks
Tiny wooden skewers
Toothpicks are small, pointed sticks used to remove food lodged between teeth.
They're typically made of wood, though plastic and metal versions exist.
Toothpicks also serve as miniature skewers for appetizers or as tools for applying small amounts of glue or paint.
Figuratively, something as thin as a toothpick is extremely slender: Her legs were like toothpicks.
