Bite my tongue means keep quiet 三缄其口

Welcome to "English in a Minute",...
...where we teach you all about idioms in American English.

We have some phrases that sound a little painful, like this one:...
...I am going to bite my tongue.

This does not sound good, like it might hurt.
Let's listen again.

I couldn't believe that happened!
I know. Are you going to say something?
No, I am going to bite my tongue.
I can't believe you are not going to say something.

In American English, if I say that I'm going to bite my tongue,...
...it means that I won't talk about something.
I am going to keep quiet.
This is an informal phrase, not one for business.
I am going to bite my tongue.
And that's "English in a Minute".

→My own sentence:
When I don't agree with somebody, I'd rather bite my tongue than say no to him.
