Using MOUTH in a sentence
MOUTH works as a verb as well as a noun: to mouth something is to form the words without sound, as in 'She mouthed thank you across the crowded room.' It also anchors many idioms. Word of mouth is news passed from person to person, 'straight from the horse's mouth' means from the original source, and to put your foot in your mouth is to say something embarrassing. Someone down in the mouth looks miserable, and a mouth-watering dish makes you hungry just by looking at it.
