如果某人所做的事sets tongues wagging，意思就是让人说闲话。
- Mr Hellman wore the same t-shirt to work every day for a week. It really set tongues wagging: some thought he just didn‘t wash it, others thought it was because he hadn‘t been home all week.
- Matilda and Michelle set tongues wagging when they left the office early yesterday. Nobody knew what they were doing.
值得注意的是，如果你give someone a tongue-lashing，意思就是把别人训斥一番。
- Bill got a tongue-lashing from his wife after he ruined her dress in the washing machine.
