"Get on your speeder and go visit Durchine, Holshef, Apapaba, Kinlo, and Marhas. Tell them Rosey will come by and move them to new hiding places tonight, in case more informants are wagging their rotten little tongues."

A tongue grabbing a part

The tongue was a muscle located in the mouths of some organisms which could be used to manipulate food. Some species, such as Gungans and ikopis, were capable of extending the tongues from their mouths to reach food or liquid and pull it into their mouths.[2] The H'nemthe species were known for their sharp tongues.[3]

The saying "A took got your tongue?" was used to encourage someone who was being unusually quiet, to speak out.[4]
