One woman in her 30s, Boyka, told the researchers: “We don’t have a dentist. It’s crazy. For us, it’s, like, impossible! In Ukraine the dentist industry is huge, you know, everywhere, and because it’s everywhere you just go and it’s like £10, £8, and you can clean it, whiten it like [a] Hollywood smile!

        A girl I went to school with told me they had a professor at uni called Dr. Death.

        I’d insist on being called Doctor if that was my surname too

        I had teachers in uni who would get mad if you didn’t call them “Licenciado”. Bitch that’s the Spanish version of. A bachelor’s degree. XD
