Mouth

Mouth, n. In man, the gateway to the soul; in woman, the outlet of the heart.

Ottoman for the fool.

Doug The Una said...

Mmmm. Dead animals minced and roasted! Thanks, Gabriel!

I agree, TLP.

Yes, Revi, apostates call it "stomach." I like the picture, by the way.

Tom, that's smart.

"In man, the gateway to the soul..."

Reminds me of a fortune I once found in a stale cookie that read:

Birds are entangled by their feet and men by their toungues.

(Nicely done Actonbell!)

Mouth, n. In dddragon's case, the thing that is often used before the brain is engaged. Source of amusement to those around when "up your hose with a rubber nose" or "on the sperm of the moment" is uttered. Misuse of is frequently blamed on not being able to see around the eye teeth.

Doug The Una said...

Actonbell, which mouth?

That's funny, Sar. I'm living proof.

Dddragon, "Got his tongue caught around his eye teeth and can't see what he's saying" is one of my favorite phrases of all time. What makes it especially good is everytime I try to use it, it comes out wrong รก la Dddragon.

Monika! Young lady, this is a family blog! I suppose your sister's engagement pushed you right over that line, huh? You left out poking.

Well, yes, Aral as a matter of fact. I think the orifice was named after that character. Donny Most, right?

Minka said...

Doug, I did make nothing obvious. It is your imagination that harms this family blog ;)

LeMas. said...

mouth-whether open or closed, often the reason for most arguments

Doug The Una said...

It always is, Monika.

Masil, that's why I'm learning to speak through my nose.

Exodus 4:11 And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord?
Exodus 4:12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.

Doug The Una said...

And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. -Exodus 23:13

Too much religion here today.

MOUTH,N. That which holds a long ,slithery, rather ugly and often forked moving piece of muscle which prevents it being the gateway to anything especially the soul.

Jamie Dawn said...

Mouth: my current enemy (along with high caloric food)
I'm hoping to undergo a temporary mouthectomy. Know any good doctors?

Unknown said...

automatically closes (and e'er so often) to the stimulii, 'Shut Up!'

Doug The Una said...

Alice, you're an old soul. Kind of a funny one, though.

Jamie Dawn, if I knew a good mouthectomist I'd be well.

Rarely in my case, Karma.

A muscle for moving the bones of others?
