no mouth is too big

[Peter Chan]

Is "no mouth is too big" a formal English expression?

If it is, what does it mean?

It's not a formal English expression and means nothing to me.

Where did you encounter it, Peter?

I have just posted a question there, asking the meaning.

簡直害死人。

You are a funny boy, Mr. Chan, but a wrong answer won't cause death.

Not a teacher.

I am not a teacher.

I hope the administrator would bear with this digessed discussion.

死in the expression does not mean “cause death”, it simply emphasis the main word in the expression, or make the sentence vivid.

死appears in many Cantonese slangs, e.g.

When a person eats a lot, he may say 飽死我啦…,

When a person sees a pretty girl, he may say 引死我啦….

 

[Matthew Wai]

Your first Cantonese slang means "it can literally cause death".
The second, "I am deadly full".
The third, "she is deadly attractive to me."

Not a teacher.

I'd go a bit further- it's not any sort of English expression, formal or informal. It might make sense as a reply to someone saying that someone has a big mouth, but I have never heard it used.

I watched the You Tube video. It doesn't make any sense there either.

@ OP, the following is the same video in our native language, it makes no sense either.

It doesn't make sense in your own language? There's nothing we can do about it then.:-?
