Hi, everyone!

I understand the literal meaning of "You have lipstick on your teeth", but it seems like there is a typical way of using this.

Is it okay to say you use this to start a conversation with someone you'd like to talk to?

Thank you!

Funny!

I didn't know there was any other meaning for this other than the literal.

I suppose you can use any honest observation to start a conversation - assuming it's not obscene or insulting.

This wouldn't work for me though - I don't wear lipstick. Very Happy
