Taking the words out of someone's mouth is just basicly an idiom for saying what the other person was about to say.

Dear Ozzy,
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. What if words could actually be touched? What are all the ways you could take them out of someone's mouth?

Right before someone says it, grab out of there mouth and run off with it.

Dear Ozzy,
ReplyDeleteWhat would it look like? Why would the person want to take someone else's words?

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. It's just like taking candy from a litle kid. You take it. You grab it and run. It's simple. Do you remember when Milo stole a word in the Valley of Sound he just kept it in his mouth. If he wanted to he could have picked up a word/sound and put it in his pocket. It is that easy. Taking the words right out of someones mouth is most likely the same. Except, for the fact that you have to stick you're hand into the person's mouth and grab what they were going to say and then run or walk or sprint or jog or what ever you want. Another way is you could tape their mouth open and get a fishing pole and fish the words out. Or you could use a butterfy net. Oh ya, the part about taking the candy from the little kid don't do it.

Someone might want to take the words out of someone elses mouth if that person never has anything good or nice to say, or if they like to complain all of the time. People get tired of listening to people that are like that. These words would be dark and slimy. They would look like demons.
ReplyDeleteEmily has a point
ReplyDeleteYou could take words out of someones mouth by maybe grabing it of the tip of their tough. This would relate to the saying to it's on the tip of my tough. So if someone had a word on the tip of their tough you could just grab it and you would have the word. i would love to do this but it might be offencive to just put your hand in someones mouth and steal their word. I mean they might of had to buy it at the word market.
ReplyDeleteOohhh.... I like Randy's idea! :)

How am I suposed to answer this if all of the ideas that I thought are taken? Great thinking everyone! But seriously, I thought of most of these before I even read them!
ReplyDeleteYou can grab them right from the persons toung as they open their mouth. You can look into their voice box and when you say the word, it will go out of their mouth and into yours.
