sweet tooth
2020.07.22
Meaning:
‘I have a bit of a sweet tooth’ means ‘I really like sweet food – candy, cake etc’. We don’t often say ‘I have a sweet tooth’ directly; we usually say ‘I have a bit of a sweet tooth’, ‘I have a real sweet tooth’. If you *don’t* care about or don’t like sweet food, you can say, ‘I don’t have much of a sweet tooth’.
Example:
A: Would you like some cake?
B: No thanks. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth.
A: Would you like some chips?
B: No thanks. I don’t eat a lot of chips. I’m a bit of a sweet tooth.
A: Oh! Well – would you like some chocolate?
Talking Point(s):
Do you have a bit of a sweet tooth? Or do you not have much of a sweet tooth?
