People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout,
and smile. So there are many expressions about mouth. For example, if you say
things about a person, the person will be unhappy and say “Do not bad mouth me.”
Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that later they regret
they hurt that person’s feelings. The speaker might say: “ I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” If this happens, the speaker might feel down in the mouth.
Information is
spread through the mouth. This is general communication
people, like friends talking to each other. “How did you hear about that movie?” Someone might ask. The
may be : “Oh, by word of mouth.” A more official way of getting information is through a company or government mouthpiece.
Sometimes, a person has a bad or unpleasant
with another person. He might say: “It left a bad taste in my mouth.” Or a person might have a very
experience, like being chased by an angry dog. He might say: “I had my
in my mouth.”
Some people have lots of money because they were
into a very rich family. You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. ” And this rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth.
