Hi
Monica: You could do that!
Chandler: Y'think?
All: Yeah!
Chandler: Oh God, I can't believe I'm even considering this... I'm very very aware of my tongue...
Ross: C'mon! C'mon! Stand back everyone, incoming ego shrapnel.

1.
I know literal meaning of "aware of one's tongue".
but I don't know when to use...like there's another meaning..
is this related to a nervous feeling?
or what else expressions can be used?
2. what is the meaning of "ego shrapnel"?
is that mean...that someone gets embarrassed?
