A saying to say when someone speaks ill of another person, there are moments to not say something that does not need to be said. Holding one's tongue can prevent gossip on the job and not offend others.

Get the tongwong mug.a feeling of guilt or shame provoked through the use of red colored tongs to select less healthy food items in a public setting.
The notion of using red colored tongs to provoke a subliminal shame response in employees was popularized by corporate shame-based cafeterias (aka shameterias). Forcing employees to make healthier food choices through peer pressure and shame was thought to improve health metrics and thereby reduce medical costs. In its early adoption, many employees resented the notion of employers applying such overt tactics to "encourage" healthier eating. Negative opinions quickly changed however as record numbers of employees developed serious eating disorders and became bulemic and/or anorexic. The tongshame campaign was so effective in fact, many shameterias were "eliminated" completely due to lack of interest in eating altogether.
