Saying of the Day: Better the foot slip than the tongue - It is better to take a bad step in walking than to say the wrong thing in talking. We can do a lot of damage when we say something by mistake. The elliptical nature of this saying may make it difficult to understand. The full version might be something like: It is better that your foot should slip than that your tongue should slip. ( EnglishH 2012 x8r )
