"You might be redneck if you lie through your tooth."

Wasn't the toothbrush and toothpaste invented in England? Else they'd have been called teethbrush and teethpaste...

Nope. Actually, the "toothbrush" was invented in China c.1497. The Chinese language makes no distinction between singular and plural; hence, "tooth" translates to the exact same Chinese word as "teeth."
