Forked-Tongue

Posted by Danny Kaye on March 04, 2005

Hey all. First time at this site. Pretty cool.
I would love to know the origin of the phrase "forked-tongued". I understand it to be an old American Indian phrase that means to lie, but when was it used first and about whom?
Also, I think it could be added to the 350+ body parts phrases you have.

Anyway, great site. Will visit often.
