On the tongs

To be hedonistically taking drugs or drinking perfectly, to be “cooking it” but to be making sure that the heat is spread evenly and thus in turn not burning out. The analogy is fueled and inspired by the most versatile and essential Australian cooking intrument, the tongs.

We have been on the tongs for a couple of days now and were still not burnt

On the tip of my tongue

knowing something that cannot immediately be recalled, like a well-known word or familiar name. When experiencing it, people feel that the blocked word is on the verge of being recovered. Despite failure in finding the word, people have the feeling that the blocked word is figuratively "on the tip of the tongue."

I can't remember the word for eating pussy, but it's right on the tip of my tongue.
I can't remember the word for licking balls, but it's right on the tip of my tongue.
I can't remember the slang word for "anus," but it's at the tip of my tongue.

tasting urine on the tip of one's tongue

The condition in which one needs to urinate so badly that any further delay will cause bladder rupture.

I think tasting urine on the tip of one's tongue is a sure sign one is in trouble.

I held it for as long as I could, but when I tasted urine on the tip of my tongue, then I knew I was in trouble. I had to pull over and go in the ditch.
