Loshon (tongue ) is from the word Losh which means to knead. The tongue serves to mash & knead food , Rav Miller ztl.
It is a muscular wonder which accomplishes many unique juggling movements & serves as a conveyor belt to deliver food into the foodpipe.
We need to thank Hashem regularly for a healthy tongue & commit ourselves to using it properly , only to mash food not people.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
