A Straight Dope Classic from Cecil's Storehouse of Human Knowledge
What is "toejam," as in "toejam football"?
June 30, 1989
Dear Cecil:
What the hell is toejam, anyway?
Dear Goofy:
The grotty stuff that collects between your toes, of course. A "toejam football" is the disgusting ellipsoid that forms when you rub it with your finger. What Freudian significance it had for the Beatles (cf "Come Together") I'd just as soon not know.
