✳️ bite your tongue | hold your tongue


✍ Meaning:

If you bite your tongue, or hold your tongue, you force yourself not to say something you really want to say.

✍ For example:

πŸ”ΊI wanted to tell Carlos he was being stupid, but I bit my tongue and just sat there.

πŸ”ΊYou're going to have to learn to hold your tongue instead of saying whatever comes into your head.

βž• Note: These two idioms have the same meaning, though "hold your tongue" is more old-fashioned than "bite your tongue".
