You could call it a colonial mindset. Wonder where that way have come from.

This is an excellent suggestion. Transforms it from massive cringe to pretty self-deprecatingly funny.

Same - I could never understand interdental brushes. How the hell was I supposed to get that between my teeth when even I waxed floss won’t fit? So I gave up and now use an electric toothbrush +waterpick when I can be arsed. My dentist is more than happy so I guess I’m doing ok.
