I find that if we make exceptions, we confuse people, especially the children we raise and sometimes model this "rude" way of responding to our children unconsciously. When they pick it up and start using it in their communication, it is considered rude and disrespectful. My experience has been that kissing your teeth is disrespectful and that's that...
It's like saying the word N****r is okay in some settings and not okay in others. ???Comment

exception? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]
I dont' think hissing your teeth is hardly comparable to the use of the N word.
It is the fact that the action along with other phrases can have different meanings.
Like the phrase get out of here. This weekend my best friend and her fiancee was staying with us, he said something unbeleivable and I said "get out of here" can u imagine if di man did pack up him sinting an leff.Comment
