That’s right; a retainer is one of those things that you can take in and out, like false teeth. Once upon a time I had the whole lot myself, but I’ve obviously blanked it out.
Maybe that’s it, then? I think it’s stuffed rather than photoshopped, but it could be a bit of both.
If you google “berluscane” (a portmanteau word, Berlusconi+cane) it will turn up this, and I can assure you the smile is instantly recognizable to all Italians:
Googling “goat with retainer” I find it’s someone’s avitar, but I don’t think it originates there.
googling “goat with braces” (the US term, I believe) turns up this:

Hmm. That’s interesting. Does everybody know how to do that, except me? (I knew you’d be able to find it, that goes without saying.)

Neither do I. I need some braces in my brain (apart from my teeth).

Sorry, the link didn’t show (and cane means “dog” in Italian):
Paolo, thank you very much. I think I’ll make that into a post…
And welcome! Please come back again.
… on second thoughts, it’s not fair on readers of A Bad Guide to put up a picture of Berlusconi without warning.
