A 'gnasher' is an informal term, often used in British English, for a tooth, especially one of the large, prominent ones. It can be used humorously or descriptively. The term often evokes a picture of a strong, healthy tooth capable of biting and chewing. It can also refer to the action of gnashing one's teeth, which conveys anger, frustration, or determination. The word implies strength and, occasionally, a slightly aggressive or ferocious quality, particularly when related to biting.
