As in, "I almost didn't get to McDonald's by the time they stopped serving Egg McMuffins, but I just made it by the skin of my teeth".
Whenever I hear it, I think about how it would feel to have a thin layer of skin over my teeth. Can you imagine accidentally scraping the skin of your teeth with a fork?
And, just like the rest of your skin, would your toothskin get saggy and wrinkly as you aged?
*shudder*

Ugh. Some phrases just give you odd mental images. Like people are referred to as "snotty" i.e. "The girl there was very snotty, she didn't say thank you or anything."
I can only imagine a person drenched in mucus. Ugh.
