Rejected petition Rename ‘toothbrush’ to ‘teethbrusher’

The name ‘toothbrush’ is slightly misleading as it suggests that it’s a brush for a single tooth; however, ‘toothbrusher’ is a more suitable name as it explicitly tells us that it is the brusher of teeth. This name change would greatly reduce confusion.
