Dentiloquist

/dɛnˈtɪləkwɪst/ noun

Definition

A person who practices dentiloquy; someone who produces speech or unusual sounds using their teeth.

Etymology

From 'dentiloguy' with the agent noun suffix '-ist,' indicating a person who performs or practices this activity. Like 'ventriloquist,' this term was created to name practitioners of a specific verbal art.

Kelly Says

The dentiloquist is basically a performer who specializes in unusual mouth sounds—it's an extremely rare skill and an even rarer word, showing how English can create super-specific terms for the most niche activities.
