Typically, the phrase “I don’t bite” is used to convey to another person that there is no reason to be afraid of approaching or talking; it is meant as an assurance that no harm will come out of an interaction. Because of the irony of the phrase being featured alongside an illustration of large dentures, “I don’t bite” can now seem sarcastic and humorous.
