forked tongue (literally) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Tuesday Weld · 05-21-2003, 12:18 PM

I saw in TIME magazine,yesterday,that some people(mostly teenagers,I guess)are cutting their tongues in half,as a fashion statement.

uke:They're trying to look more like snakes,or something

It sounds just awful - I can't imagine any sensible person doing this,it amounts to self-mutilation,as does a whole lot of piercings and tattoos.Also,they can do serious damage(as if I had to even say that).UGH,how crazy!!

I heard about that!

That's sick!

Not to mention painful!Ouch!

What will they come up with next?

*PinkLady* · 05-21-2003, 12:57 PM

Ew.

I heard that someone at my school did it, but I don't know the person and I haven't actually seen it.

It sounds completely disgusting, and probably bad for your health.

I saw something like that on Ripleys Believe it or Not. This guy was having a bunch of alterations to make himself look like a cat. he is even planning to have a fake tail put on.

Oh meangya. He needs to get over it.

My God my eyes water when I bite my tongue... to have it slit in half?

This will be like the 21st century's answer to a tattoo- just like drinking is the new smoking, chicken is the new pork- well, maybe not the last one. Seriously though- it wouldn't look cool, and it'll just keep it going for ages in a minority, maybe a big minority like teens with piercings. In twenty years the people would regret it more than right after they slit their tongue and feel the pain- they'd regret it when they have interviews, dates etc- and then a bad influence on their kids.

I get the feeling that people with more than 20 tattoos, and forked tongues, and so on don't anticipate too many interviews for "normal" jobs.

*shivers* it hurts just thinking about it! My God, are people that stupid? I'm glad I've never seen anyone like that...it's just...too weird. What's the point in it anyways?

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of in my life. What are these people thinking? What happens when their tongue turns green and falls off or something?

Oh MY GOD. That's the most disgusting thing I've heard in a long time...
