EN: gap-toothed
That cute look kids have when their milk teeth start falling out. Or that look your Lolo has when he forgets to put on his dentures. Being `bingaw` is having a noticeable gap in your smile. It's a rite of passage for kids, often celebrated with a visit from the tooth fairy. For adults, it's a visit to the dentist.
Specifically refers to a gap in the teeth. Different from 'bingal' which is for objects.
