People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. In the English language, there are many meanings using the word "mouth". But some of them are not so nice. 2For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest (抗议) and say" Do not bad mouth me". Another situation is that you thought someone said something bad about you, and you ask him. He might say, "Do not put words in my mouth!" Sometimes, people tell the person something they didn't mean to tell. The speaker might say, "I really put my foot in my mouth this time." In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.
Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say. "You take the words right out of my mouth!"
④Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person "was born with a silver spoon(银匙) in his mouth. "This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.
