I have never ever in my life thought about smiles around the world. Not to mention the diferences between them.
But you're right.....I show more teeth but my smile is not as wide as a Canadian one. When I show them, it's only the upper teeth. lol!

Haa!! and I noticed today that your theories are correct!! Jeffrey Buttle has a typical Canadian smile as well.

Ouiiii ! Something like that : "sourire de toutes ses dents". We don't count teeth :kataus:

, but it means the same (it's okay for me, I have only 28 teeth, I'm almost like that --> Alby & Max!!

).

And watching Jeffrey made me laugh too (only at the beginning because his LP was not funny at all pale

. Poor Jeffrey...

).

Nope....but we have a saying like this: "You have a smile of millions" or "that worth millions" Rolling Eyes

I don't really use it..but some people do.

When somebody has a huuuge smile, you can say that the smile reaches his/her ears :kataus:
