1. When you tell a lie .
2. It is just one of your taste buds that is flared up. It should stop hurting in just a couple of days and shrink down to the normal size. Sometimes when you eat or drink something too hot or too cold, it can cause this. Or super spicy foods.
3. My mum always said you get them when you have been telling lies - tut tut!!!
4. it means you told a lie, best thing to do is bite or cut it off, xxx vici
5. telling fibs or putting your tongue where you shouldn't..or its an ulcer.
6. it's called an ulcer
7. It could be an ulcer, which is a bacterial infefection. Theyre usually caused by stress, too much sugar, or bad oral hygiene. To get rid of it put a dab of salt directly onto it. It'll sting like mad for about 20 seconds, but then the pain goes away. The salt acts as a cleaning agent, and kills the dead skin and bacteria, so it jsut becomes like a normal open wound, similar to when you bite your tongue, and it wont hurt anymore. As your mouth is constantly getting bacteria, sugar, etc in it, you'll probably have to put salt in it two or three more times (once a day maybe?) till its fully gone to help get rid of it quicker. I had one jsut a few days ago, and it's jsut about gone now.
