No idea. Doesn't even sound Japanese. Well the "mashu" does, but the 'dag' is not Japanese. You didn't hear the word right.

Gotta be "itadakimasu".

....something in the mouth...

The closest I could find was Tag Mash up タッグマッシュアップ　which was a file sharing program used by Nintendo game software.
Ring any bells?

I think it isn't mashu, but mausu (マウス）which is the katakana representation of mouth (and also mouse).

There is no "th" sound in Japanese so mouse and mouth will come out the same. so will it be "dag-mouth" or dag-mouse"?

Crooked teeth (or when one tooth sticks out of the gum in front, considered cute in women)) maybe called daggle-tooth?

I can't believe I cannot get back those 5 minutes spent searching for ダグ　マウス　on the internets.

Oh the regrets.

How about "dagger teeth" or simply "fangs"??

I'll have to ask for a spelling or pronunciation again, because while these are all amusing, none of them is the answer I was looking for.

Anyone of you know about this, or heard about it before?
