'Watch your tongue' = Watch your mouth = Watch your language nghĩa là chú ý, cẩn thận, cặn kẽ tới những gì mình nói, không nói điều gì thô tục, thô lỗ, mất lòng (Pay attention to what you are saying!; Do not say anything rude!); nói phải giữ mồm giữ miệng chứ, phủi phui cái mồm.

Ví dụ
Watch your tongue: Prejudiced comments illegal in Brazil.

You don't really have to watch your tongue as much as at a fine dining restaurant.

Watch your tongue. “Avoid judging, criticism and sarcasm. Find something you can understand or affirm in the teen’s point of view and acknowledge that before offering alternative points of view,” suggested Christy Buchanan, a professor of psychology at Wake Forest University who specializes in adult-adolescent relationships. “And listen ... carefully. No one -- of any age -- enjoys a conversation partner who doesn't listen!”
