    ① 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.

      ② For 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.
