I've heard of people in the UK having their tongues sliced, too. Gross!

Why do they do that? They are English native speakers...

The idea of having shorter or longer tongues is correlated with one's performance in any language-I think. :wink:

In India, some people pierce their tounge, as a supplication, a prayer asking God's help as part of a religious service. Indians are overly pious!!
