The topic comes at a very interesting phase here in Africa where the animals are suffering from a foot and mouth disease. Beef consumption has plummeted due to this and animals perish in many cases. Such is the effect of the foot in mouth!!
Many congratulations on completing what we call in cricket as the Nelson's number. Unlike numerology where it may be considered lucky it's quite the contrary in cricket where one is slated to lose a wicket when on this number. One can reminisce the famous umpire David Shepherd doing a small hop skip and jump ritual on the ground whenever the team/individual batsman is on this number to ward off any adverse impact!!
When "shooting ones mouth off" it's a good idea to "aim before you shoot" rather than "shoot before you aim". Otherwise you will be diagnosed with - Foot-in-mouth desease!!
Intersting topic Pm! A lovely read!
As a teacher I have to add to the list, the phrase 'Finger on your lips' :D
Also 'giving someone some lip' means to be rude.
