1. If it was a choice between this and picking up dog shit with my teeth....

2. Are you done with the floss?

4. "dynamic head writer"

They left out the drinking the Kool-Aid part

Drawing on my personal experience and knowledge I get the following understanding:

Dynamic is short for dynamic microphone which generates small electric currents due to the interaction of a coil and a magnet.

Head was the term for an acid (LSD) user.

Writer is a person who writes in a specified way. Tests are written by them.

Inserting the missing Kool-Aid I get Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test Writer. That sounds familiar
