Dear Cecil: What the hell is toejam, anyway? Goofy Gholson, west suburbs, Chicago
Cecil replies:
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.
