Basically it means that if you trip and fall, you can just stand up and go on as normal. But if your tongue slips (you say something you shouldn't have) it may be impossible for people to treat you the same way as they did before you said it.
"A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over" is a quote from Benjamin Franklin. It means that words are more hurtful that physical pain.
A balance can be regained but a revelation of ones unconcious and its inherent deeper truth once revealed can never be erased no matter how one awkwardly tries to rationalize it or cover it up. ML It means you can hurt some one physically and (maybe) they'll forgive you but if you say something that can hurt some ones feelings they (probably) will never forget that. -Taylor
This quote emphasizes the notion that physical mistakes or missteps can often be corrected or forgotten, while verbal mistakes or hurtful words can have lasting consequences and may not be easily forgiven or forgotten by others. It speaks to the power and impact of words compared to physical actions.
tongue flip
Yes, and most cows will recover from foot and mouth disease (FMD). This disease is mostly economic in its impact - in an endemically infected herd (one that routinely has FMD circulating), generally around 98% of the animals who get infected will recover in a couple of weeks. In a naive herd (one that has not been exposed to FMD), you will see a slightly larger mortality rate, but still have a survival rate over 90%.
Over but only the tip of your tongue
No, its not. Go see your piercer.
The homograph word for whip or pass the tongue over is "lick."
Most definitely get a lawyer
It's no more risky than licking any other part of your body. If you're talking about your own foot, after all, everything your tongue touches is already part of you. Incidentally, if you're over 30, congrats on staying flexible!
The bit is placed on the tongue, obviously, or it would place the toungue in a weird position.
Stop!
