Of course I didn't mean to impolite, apologies if I caused any offense. Hey - different cultural background, please no more down-votes, thanks!

From Wikipedia: James Joyce's novel Ulysses includes a character named Mulligan who brings 'Chrysostomos' into another character's mind because Mulligan's gold-stopped teeth and his gift of the gab earn him the title which St. John Chrysostom's preaching earned him, 'golden-mouthed':[45] Chrysostomos also refers to Stephen, the independent and exiled genius: "He peered sideways up and gave a long low whistle of call, then paused awhile in rapt attention, his even white teeth glistening here and there with gold points. Chrysostomos."

The original John Chrysostom died in 407 apparently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Chrysostom
