The tongue wasn't always associated with anger. The tongue was a sign of intensity. If it appeared while angry or upset then there was cause for concern 'cause it were a intense anger or upset. The intense part was usually short lived with anger but with other things could last as long as the task.
Quick story of intensity. Maine, it's snowing, Dad stopped for gas. While out of the car he decides to clean the headlights, they'd get real dim with road crud, he leans over and gets real intent on cleaning that light. Someone in the car makes a crack about him licking it clean. When he gets back in the car he can't understand why everyone is convulsed in laughter. No one was going to tell him either.
About Me
- Zipidee
- About me -- Could that speak to attributes of my character or to objects arranged around me at this time and place. To discuss attributes there must first be attributes. As a rather suspect observer they (the attributes) would be questionable to say the least should I choose to list any. If on the other hand we are speaking of objects that are within my grasp I feel as though their description would be an invasion of my privacy and by the way one that I would be responsible for and by golly there's one attribute I will claim and that's having sense enough not to incriminate myself! So! As a card carrying commie pinko of the late 60's you'll not be greatly suprised with some of my opinions. This will hopefully be a family place.

Don't blame 'em!
The tongue thing is a FAMILY trait. Mama does it. I do it. Tucker even does it. If I'm really intensely concentrating on something, the tongue goes out (and usually is bitten a bit without my realizing until later when it hurts). :-)
