Tennessee Toothpic and Arkansas Toothpic, heard both terms, interchangeable,  quite often over the years and always wondered, but never wanted to show my ignorance by asking, but here it comes......

Is there a difference, and what is that difference?  :Doh!

BTW: That puppy looks like it will reach out and touch.
