You got your own tongue?
Used in a sentence: "What's the matter -- you got your own tongue?"
When might that sentence be uttered? Sometimes, when one of my cats is caterwauling for no apparent reason, I'll look right at them and attempt a dialogue. With the direct attention, they'll often stop and look at me quizzically. Then, when it's clearly their turn to make a noise and they are silent, I'll look at them and say, "What's the matter -- you got your own tongue?". They don't seem to appreciate my humor and often just walk away confused. Of course, I often have that affect on anyone or anything with which I attempt discourse.
