...this used to be pretty common in the states to cure "tongue tiedness"...

There's a great episode of The Beverly Hillbillies where Granny sets up a medical practice. When Mr. Drysdale mispronounces a word, she chases him around offering to "bob his tongue" for a quarter. My brother and I still say that to each other when one of us misprounounces something.

That is funny. Odd how tv or movie phrases become part of a family's communication. My sisters and I saw Stepford Wives at a young age,,we stilll do the "what you need is a nice cop of coffee" in Stepford wife style and crack each other up.
