🌀Bite my tongue

To stop yourself from saying something you’ll regret.
یعنی جلوی خودت را بگیری که حرفی نزنی چون ممکن است بعداً پشیمان شوی.
Examples:
🌀 • I bite my tongue whenever his name comes up. It’s safer that way.
هر وقت اسمش می‌آید، زبانم را گاز می‌گیرم و چیزی نمی‌گویم؛ این‌طوری امن‌تر است.
🌀 • I wanted to correct her, but I bit my tongue.
می‌خواستم اصلاحش کنم، ولی جلوی خودم را گرفتم.
Usage note:
Often used when you’re angry, emotional, or don’t want to cause trouble.
معمولاً وقتی عصبانی یا احساسی هستی و نمی‌خواهی دردسر درست شود به کار می‌رود.
