I have no gag reflex, so I am able to basically put my tongue up the back of my throat into the back of the nose area. It's called hypermobile tongue. And the area of the back of the throat that leads to the nose is the nasopharynx. You can look it up on google "hypermobile tongue nasopharynx". Needless to say, before I did this to myself (it seemed natural, it hurt every day, but after a few weeks the skin was gone and healed) I was easily able to touch my tongue to the tip of my nose (on the outside). I guess this inspired me? P.S. I'm not weird or mutated or anything in any other way, it just happened! It's useful to remove mucus when you have issues with it, especially in the morning. Yeah. That sounds gross, but I have very fresh breath, as I take care of my mouth! For the visually inclined, here's a picture from wikipedia of the nasopharynx. That's why I can put my tongue. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/Illu_pharynx.jpg [Edit]: I don't think I've told my fiancee I can do this yet... Maybe I should... i'm the same... i think i could slowly do it from around age 10. so useful with removing the mucus or whatever lol. guess its not really that uncommon. i'm still trying to figure out what those circular things are at the far left and right of the upper mouth. any idea? | ||

You mean in the mouth or in the nasopharynx? Like before you put it up in there or after? If it's before, your tonsils are there by your uvula (the teardrop thing in the back of your mouth). They have a bumpy texture. I had mine removed, but I can still feel remnants of them there. | ||

Sensible people shouldn't blindly trust any media, let alone one such as this. The primary goal of most media is to make money and spread propaganda. Therefore seemingly average things (such as clipping the skin under your tongue to extend it further, which I've had done myself) are exaggerated to get a rise out of people. I'm honestly surprised the Sun didn't just say she did it for sexual reasons to get even more of a rise in this overly politically correct world. That's why I had mine done. | ||

From what I hear, actually hear myself is that Japanese people pronounce R sounds with L sounds and L sounds with R sounds. Anyone else notice that? They just use a single consonant for L and R sounds. So when they say R we think we hear L and vice versa. | ||

Agreed. My girlfriend is Filipina, and "I love you" is "mahal kita" in Tagalog. This seems like a scam. | ||

There is no proof that tongue length, size, or any other factors have any effect on the ability to speak certain languages or speak at all. This is just another risk-free surgery that money can be made off of. Most likely. I'm sure there are some things that can effect it, but if I didn't have any evidence of it then I would be a little suspect. Money beats research in this case. | ||

Unless you're doing the abstinence before marriage thing, I'd assume she has noticed something by now ;p. | ||

Maybe an extremely short tongue leads to inability to pronounce both? But then what is the sound that comes out? So odd. Either way its hardly news worthy, i had this problem when i was a child and couldnt pronounce R, my doctor wanted to snip that shit too, but i just hold out and it got fine when i got older. Too bad tho. I couldve been a lot more popular with the ladies. | ||
