corrected, thanks
I've personally never heard this one, but according to a Google search, it should be worded as follows.
The tongue ever turns to the aching tooth.
What does this mean? One avoid problems?
Link to #2269376 please.
The meaning is "one tends to speak about what's on their mind at the time (about what's worrying them)".
@neron: it's just a proverb on the topic of anxiety or neurosis. One tends to worry an aching tooth with one's tongue in the same way that the mind tends to frequently return to a personal problem or dilemma. That's my understanding, anyway.
I fixed the sentence, as tooths is not a word.
thanks guys
