This "toothing" is also called "Bluejacking" by a different faction in Britain, although the articles I found on Bluejacking last week did not paint the picture of it as being sexual.

"Toothing" is stupid. People search for bluetooth devices that are on and discoverable and try to initiate a chat in order to have sex.
"Bluejacking" is a way to basic...
