Tongue (thing)

The tongue is a very useful thing. It is a very strong muscle in most people's mouths. People with no tongue have a hard time eating or talking.

• It is used to move food around in the mouth.
  
  This helps the food to become soft and easily swallowed. People with no tongues generally must mash or puree their foods. A good gift for this person would be a blender or a food processor. These gifts would also be good for people with no teeth.



• The tongue is also good for kissing (or so I am told seeing as though I never have).
  
  My best friend has educated me a lot on this subject. She says that kissing is fun, with a good person. In order to be a good kisser one must keep their tongue in shape. This is easily attained by chewing gum or a pen of kissing a lot.

We can see that the tongue is a very useful body part and should be protected. Piercing can cause damage to this sensitive tissue mass. Hot liquids also can cause extreme discomfort and even blisters.
