Dear consuelo: I found your phrase in many sites, but could not figure out its meaning. Why the flick to the canine?

Ever get a whole cumin seed caught between your teeth? That's irritating, bothersome, and sometimes slightly painful.
PS Dr. Bill, I put the translation in white in the first post.

Cumin seed no. Other short curly objects yes.
Now that I think of it, cumin seed sounds like something else.

Dear consuelo: I think it unlikely that you remember that "twist" used to be a slang term for a complaisant young damsel.

Hey, I read a lot [alot?].
Twist also goes with "Shaken, not stirred"

I know that biting the thumb can be an insult, but never could figure out why.

My best guess would be that it is some kind of insult to the macho male's member. Dunno for a fact.
