Cat Got Your Tongue: Used when someone has nothing to say; It is frequently used by someone who has the upper hand in a conversation. If a person cannot counter, or has nothing to say, then the other person can ask "don't you have anything to say?" or "Cat got your tongue?"
中文释义： cat got your tongue：表示”你的舌头给猫捉住了吗？“一个人如果舌头被”借走“了，那还怎么说话呢？这个习惯用语是对一个不知为了什么而哑口无言的人说的。人们常用这句话促使沉默的对方开口说话。也就是中文中我们常说的“舌头打结”，适合吵架的时候用。
例句：Why won't you answer my question? Has the cat got your tongue?（你为何不回答我的问题？你成了哑巴了吗？）
