To show teeth

To be aggressive or threatening.

🌍

문화적 배경

The wolf is a central figure in Lithuanian mythology. Showing teeth is seen as a 'wolf-like' trait of a survivor. In Lithuanian business, being too aggressive early on is disliked, but 'showing teeth' at the right moment earns respect. Basketball is the 'second religion' in Lithuania. 'Rodyti dantis' is the most common way to describe a team's fighting spirit. During the independence movements, the phrase was used to describe the nation's defiance against the Soviet Union.
