Stranger Danger?

[Molly Mae]

Historically, perhaps ancient or American
Not historically, there's a stranger comparison.
Bolder perhaps than electronic sibling;
Required by dentists before any drilling.
The common reaction to encountering ghouls,
When we do things my way, we follow the rules.

I do not believe it is.  I cannot make an obvious tie between Ah and the answer, anyway.

[Molly Mae]

Still no answer for this one.

No, sir.

The first three lines describe the most common version of the word.  Each line thereafter describes a different definiton of the same word.

Explorer?

Nope.  It's a physical object.
