Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

I want to see how many of us can do this.

I can.

Slightly more disgusting is the fact that if I breathe out of my mouth while touching it, I can get my tongue behind my uvula, and from there into my nasal cavity.

I can't do it. And is that unnerving putting your tongue into your nasal cavity? I'm pretty sure I would freak out if I did that.

I can. I didn't think it was hard. It seems like many just have really overpronounced gag reflexes. Also, Rating Pending is a chef? This is news to me.

For those that can, can you also touch your nose with your tongue? I can't do either.

I cannot without manual assistance. But I can with it!

So, I think the real question is… are we talking about the tip of our tongue? Or the base of our tongue? Neither Yellow and I can touch it with the tip, but both of can with the base. But that seems kind of trivial...

Yes. I am talking about the tip. You curl your tongue back and touch it with the very front of your tongue.

Have never been able to do any tongue "tricks:" no tongue tacos, no touchin' nothin', no blowing bubble gum bubbles . . . I can bend it back but I don't really think uvulae have nerve endings? I misread "uvula" as something ENTIRELY different in that question and it grossed me out.

Does that mean it is time to play the anagram game with the word "uvula?" Because that could get pretty bad pretty fast.

My choir teacher in high school wanted UVU's choir to be called the "La's" so that they would be the UVU-La's.

For what it's worth, I still prefer the name UVSC for aesthetic reasons.

I can put it behind the uvula and up into whatever is up there.

Especially with Latin-style orthography.

i used to be able to that, but, like many of my muscles, my tongue is no longer as flexible. or maybe my mouth just got bigger as i aged.
