3rdnlng Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 1 hour ago, B-Man said: IN OTHER NEWS:.............................NO SHE CANNOT. . To speak with a forked tongue means to tell lies, to not be truthful, to be deceptive. To speak with a forked tongue may be interpreted as saying one thing but meaning another. It is an insult to tell someone that he is speaking with a forked tongue, as it is the same as calling someone a liar. Almost all authorities believe that the metaphor of a forked tongue refers to the forked tongue of a snake. A snake’s forked tongue is also called a bifurcated tongue. The snake uses his tongue to activate his vomeronasal system or his sense of smell. The bifurcation allows the snake to have a three-dimensional experience of smell. The origins of the idea of the forked tongue meaning to tell lies is at least five hundred years old, and is probably derived from the image of Satan as a snake, as depicted in the Adam and Eve story in the Old Testament. In the story, Satan appears to Eve as a snake and talks her into sinning or going against the will of God. He does this by telling her lies and appealing to her curiosity and hubris. The expression forked tongue meaning speaking deceptively or lying is first seen in the early 1500s, predating the first English settlement in America by about one hundred years. The term speak with a forked tongue became more popular in the 1700s, at which time it was ascribed to a translation of a Native American idiom. It is possible that such an idiom existed in some Native American languages, though it is just as likely that it was the English speakers who gave the term to the Native Americans. For a culture that does not revile the snake, the term speak with a forked tongue may be interpreted as to speak with two tongues, which could indicate to say one thing and mean another. https://grammarist.com/idiom/speak-with-a-forked-tongue/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole Bernie is a sexist narrative Warren's campaign is trying to create to energize democratic female voters is going to backfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just gear shifting from one person's story to another's. This is a nothing story, but Warren is trying to do a Kamela Harris move and get some traction from attacking the frontrunner. It's her last hope to grasp the edge of the cliff before she falls off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
